NASCAR

FILE - This is a March 2, 2009, file photo showing Canada's Ashleigh McIvor (yellow bib) competing with silver medalist Austria's Karin Huttary (blue bib), bronze medalist France's Meryl Boulangeat (green bib) and fourth place Slovakia's Sasa Faric (red bib) during the Women's final match for the ski cross of the FIS Freestyle World Championships in Inawashiro, Japan. McIvor tries to take stock of her competition when she moves into the starting gate, sizing up who might give her the most trouble while screaming down a mountain in what could best be described as NASCAR on skis.
