Excerpt from SceneDaily.com:
“The presidents of Richmond International Raceway and Kansas Speedway have a good-natured wager on the upcoming Orange Bowl, which will feature Virginia Tech and Kansas University. Richmond President Doug Fritz is an alum of Virginia Tech, while Kansas President Jeff Boerger is an alum of Kansas. Fritz has agreed to send the entire Kansas Speedway staff Virginia hams and Virginia peanuts if his Hokies fall to the Jayhawks. If Virginia Tech wins, Boerger has agreed to bestow Kansas City strip steaks and sunflower seeds to the Richmond staff. “Although I would like to introduce two very tasty Virginia products to the employees at Kansas Speedway, I would much rather taste victory over the Jayhawks when my beloved Hokies reign supreme at the Orange Bowl,” Fritz said in a news release. “I will be watching my good friend Coach Frank Beamer and his team closely from the stands, and I look forward to returning to Richmond to hand out the strip steaks and sunflower seeds to all of the employees at Richmond International Raceway. Go, Hokies.” Fritz is a 1981 graduate of Virginia Tech, while Boerger is a 1988 graduate of Kansas.
“The Virginia hams will taste extremely good after I watch my Jayhawks beat the Hokies of Virginia Tech,” Boerger said. “Coach Mark Mangino and his staff have done a great job this year, and it’s been exciting to watch KU get recognized for all of their hard work. Several staff members at Kansas Speedway are KU graduates, and we’ll all be pulling for the Jayhawks to beat the Hokies.”"
