FAMILY AFFAIR: The Sauter family will make NASCAR history Sunday when a father and three sons compete in the same race: the Busch Grand National GNC Live Well 250 at the Milwaukee Mile. Jim, the 59-year-old patriarch, will join Jay, 39, and Johnny, 24, in Richard Childress Racing entries. Tim, 37, drives for AP Performance.

"I don't know who my stiffest competition among the boys will be," said Jim, a legendary Wisconsin short-track racer and test driver for the IROC series. "But I'm going to be pretty good competition for them."
