Buster Graham's racing helmet looks like La Tech's football helmet (Photos)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The ARCA race at Daytona is one of the first races of the 2015 American racing season. So we say this with the knowledge that it may be like declaring victory in the first minute of a basketball game. However, we're comfortable with our proclaimation.

Buster Graham's Louisiana Tech racing helmet is the best college-themed racing helmet you'll see all year. Behold its beauty.

Graham's description of it was perfect.

"Not a lot of flash, but it's cool looking," he said.

Graham's Roulo Brothers Racing car in Saturday's Lucas Oil 200 had Louisiana Tech all over it. He said the funding for the paint scheme came from an anonymous donor who, unsurprisingly, is a graduate of Louisiana Tech (In basic terms, if NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series is the major leagues, ARCA is the the single-A level of stock car racing).

The car didn't make it to the end of the race, however. Graham was caught up in an accident after two cars collided in front of him. He couldn't avoid the No. 66 of Leilani Munter and the right front of his car suffered significant damage.

The next appearance for the helmet (and the La. Tech car) is set to be at Talladega in May. After Graham is done with the headgear, he already has plans for it.

"We'll probably donate to Louisiana Tech," Graham said. "Probably the suit too."

The oaks have returned to Toomer's Corner (Video)

The Toomer’s Oaks have returned.

Two 35-foot oak trees, which were selected from a groove of 9,000 trees in South Carolina, were planted Friday morning at the intersection of Magnolia Avenue and College Street in Auburn, which is affectionately referred to as Toomer’s Corner.

It was the first time in nearly two years oak trees had inhabited Toomer’s Corner. The previous trees had to be removed after being poisoned in 2010.

A third oak tree of the same size was planted outside the Facilities Management Complex and will serve as a backup in case anything happens to either of the new trees.

The tree planting marks the first phase in renovation the iconic corner, which is where Auburn fans come to celebrate football victories. The second phase will begin following the spring game in April. That phase will include the planting of 30 15-foot-tall trees, which came from the acorns of the original oaks.

All dressed up and ready to take its place at Toomer's Corner! #AuburnOaks #WarEagle! http://ift.tt/1DatBfG

— Auburn University (@AuburnU) February 13, 2015

While several fans were on hand to watch the planting of the new iconic trees, fans won’t be allowed to roll them with toilet paper — a tradition while celebrating victories — until the 2016 season to allow the trees to adjust to their new environment.

South Carolina four-star DE signee arrested for petit larceny

Shameik Blackshear (via Rivals) South Carolina signee Shameik Blackshear was arrested Friday at Bluffton High School following an incident where he’s accused of stealing a purse and a safe from a home on Feb. 7.

According to a Bluffton Police Department spokesman Maj. Joe Manning, the victim and two other witnesses saw Blackshear take the items from the home. The contents of the purse and safe were valued at $1,390.

Blackshear was charged with one count of petit larceny.

He was taken to Beaufort County Detention Center and held overnight and released Saturday morning on a $1,092.50 personal recognizance bond.

South Carolina said it was aware of the incident and that it was waiting for the legal process to work out. Blackshear has a scheduled court date for March 3.

Blackshear was a four-star defensive end, who was rated as the No. 5 player in the state of South Carolina. Blackshear, who was the Gamecocks first signee of the 2015 class, missed parts of the past two seasons with injuries, including a torn ACL he suffered last September.

Utah QB Travis Wilson cuts his locks for kids with cancer (Photo)

We’re a little late on this story, but it was still worth noting…

Utah quarterback Travis Wilson will be sporting a new look this spring after cutting off his shoulder-length hair and donating it to the Jesse Rees Foundation. The foundation helps children and their parents with emotional and final support while fighting cancer.

Travis Wilson got a new do thx to @siale_havili & the Utah Football barbershop! He's donating his hair for @TeamNEGU! http://ift.tt/1FLlTqq

— Utah Football (@Utah_Football) February 11, 2015

Wilson paired with the foundation last year after hearing about it while he was coaching at Elite 11 camp in the summer.

During the Utes 2014 season opener against Idaho State, Wilson and the team invited 6-year-old Matthew Burr to serve as an honorary captain. Burr joined the Ute Walk to the stadium before the game, he was on the field for the coin toss and received a T-shirt and a signed football.

Wilson told the Salt Lake Tribune after the game that he hoped to bring other kids out for similar opportunities.

Wilson isn't the first quarterback to donate his hair to a cancer charity. Former quarterback Jordan Wynn, who is now the quarterbacks coach at Hawaii, also donated his hair in honor of his late grandmother, who died from the disease.
