The CK Daily – It’s Bristol Baby!
Good morning and happy Wednesday! What a week it’s been so far – I’ve had lots of last-minute items popping up this week, but thankful they haven’t made the to-do list too much longer than normal.
This weekend was so fun!! For Father’s Day this year, we gifted my dad tickets to this weekend’s races at Bristol Motor Speedway. We went to the race on Friday night and on Saturday. It was so much fun to watch my dad and my brother watch the race. They love racing and my brother went to school to learn basically how to build a race car from the inside out, so they have such a different perspective on racing than the rest of us did.
After the races were over, one of my brother’s friends he went to school with who joined us for the weekend said “Well it was a good race! There was good racing going on everywhere you looked.” And it was true! It was a good weekend of enjoying time with family and good racing both nights.
Also, fun fact! One of our CK Team members, Sue, has a son in the pit crew of one of the teams. We were lucky enough to get pit passes and were able to snag a photo with him!
Have a great rest of the week!

Learning Center Article – Choosing the Right Network Card
When you think about networking, there’s a lot of focus on switches, panels, racks, cables, and the backbone infrastructure that makes it all work.
It’s easy to forget about devices that enable individual networking components to function. One such case is a network interface card (NIC). They allow your computerized devices to connect to the network, so they’re absolutely essential. Many devices have NICs built into them, which is why they are easy to overlook. But, there are times when you need to purchase NICs. When that happens, this guide will help you choose the right option.
