Rosemary Holland (1946 - 2020)
ROSEMARY FRANCINE HOLLAND 1946 - 2020 Rosemary Francine Holland passed away peacefully at A Home With Hope adult care home in the morning, Sept. 7, 2020 at the age of 73. She was lovingly cared for by her husband and son during hospice. Rosemary was born in Moorhead, MN in 1946. She and her family moved to Vancouver, WA in 1954. Her father worked at Alcoa and her mother owned and operated Fran’s Cafe. She met her husband Ron while working at the cafe in 1962 and married in 1963. Rosemary worked for the Vancouver Housing Authority for over 20 years until her retirement in 2005. Once retired, she and her husband Ron fulfilled their retirement dream of owning a second home in Palm Desert, CA. For six months out of the year, they migrated to Palm Desert to enjoy the warm weather and sun. They also enjoyed the company of other family and friends who owned retirement homes in the same area. Rosemary, with her husband Ron always at her side, were regulars at local bingo halls in Vancouver and Portland, OR. All the regulars knew “Ronnie and Rose.” They were always generous and kind to the bingo hall staff. She also liked gaming at casinos. Rosemary had an uncanny ability to get lucky and win. And if you were lucky enough to be with her, you’d win too! She always shared her winnings with any friends and family that were with her. Rosemary was an extraordinary cook and baker. Everyone looked forward to what delicious dish or tasty treat she would bring to family celebrations and parties. Rosemary lived a full and happy life. She lived and worked in Heidelberg, Germany where her husband Ron was stationed with the U.S. Army for two years. She and Ron have been on several cruises in the Caribbean and traveled regularly to Hawaii and Mexico. She is survived by her husband, Ronald Holland (Ron); son, Randy and wife Susi Holland; grandson, Nicholas Holland; and brother; Gerald Severson. An online celebration of life ceremony will be announced at a later date. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or the Humane Society for Southwest Washington.

I made a list of content from the current wave of Boxsets and whether DGM sells them [Part 1]
You can find Part 2 here Based on a previous post, I decided to make a list of every disc from each of the currently available King Crimson boxsets. I do not include the content from the original Court of the Crimson King boxset from 2009 as that is long out of print and King Crimson is going to be redoing that set in the future. Where possible, I will include links to DGM if the discs are available for sale digitally through their store, in case you aren't interested in the sets as a whole, but might still want portions of them. If the disc is exclusive to the boxset, then I will make a note of it. This list is in order of when in King Crimson's history the boxsets cover, not necessarily the release order the sets came out in. For the sake of condensing the list as well as ease of reading the list, I will leave off the Discs that do not include studio releases as the main focus of this post is to show where on DGM Live you can purchase the content of the boxsets without having to purchase the entire boxset.
Sailors' Tales (1970-1972)
Sailor's Tales Having lost half the band after In the Court of the Crimson King, Fripp would convince Greg Lake and Michael Giles to return as session musicians for In the Wake of Poseidon, but after that he would need a new overall lineup if King Crimson were to continue. This second Lineup would encompass In the Wake of Poseidon post-studio recording through Islands. This boxset covers the Islands era of King Crimson at the beginning of the 1970's. It was released on November 10, 2017. CD Content-

The Road to Red
The Road to Red Rounding out the end of the 1970's saga of King Crimson, as well as the Larks' Tongues era, John Wetton's and David Cross' tenure, and even the final tour before Robert Fripp discovers Dapper Dan in the 1980's, we have The Road to Red.

The other three tracks are essentially abridged versions of the three albums of the era showing various portions of the albums in work in progress states.
Adolf Czojor: Orphaned during WWII in Germany, poisoned by cyanide in Delaware in 1996
Adolf Czojor (pronounced CHOY-or) lived in Bear, DE, in the United States. Born around 1935, he grew up in war-time Germany and his life was a series of tragedies. His home was bombed. His brother became a prisoner of war. His father disappeared and presumably died fighting on the Russian front; his mother was placed in a concentration camp. With no one left to care for him, Adolf spent his childhood in an orphanage in Poland. As a young man he was reunited with his surviving family. In 1957, he migrated to the U.S. with his mother, his stepfather, and his wife. Adolf’s marriage to his first wife Elsa lasted 24 years and resulted in a son and two daughters. After an amicable divorce, he remarried another divorcee, Madeline Joan Thomas Reese, in 1983. His marriage to Joan bequeathed him with three stepdaughters and two stepsons, as she had been previously married to a man named Joe Reese. Life was going great for Adolf in 1996. Adolf had worked as a sausage maker for over 30 years, but told his employer Springer & Thomas that he would be retiring in July. According to Adolf’s family, he loved to cook and clean, and waited on his wife hand and foot. His wife Joan even told the local newspaper, “No man has ever treated me so good.” In his free time he enjoyed bowling and betting on the ponies at Delaware Park Race Track and Casino, although friends say he never met a winning horse. Friday, April 26, 1996, was his 13th wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be an unlucky one. He and his wife Joan were celebrating that evening, but when he invited her to come to the track with him, she decided to stay home. There are few details about his night at Delaware Park; one witness, a waitress, had noticed him sleeping in the simulcast lounge area when she left work after midnight. Not long afterwards, a person brushed past Adolf, accidentally knocking him out of his chair. As he was unresponsive, paramedics were called. Around 1 AM he was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. Around 2:30 AM Joan was summoned to the hospital, where she was told her husband had died. The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and concluded Adolf had died of a heart attack. Given his age, the finding was unsurprising. Some consolation could be found knowing Adolf died doing something he loved. But then the Assistant State Medical Examiner, Adrienne Sekular-Perlman, received a mysterious phone call: “Are you sure Adolf died of a heart attack?” Curious, the ME decided to order toxicology tests. The Widow Czojor After she found out her husband was dead, Joan returned home. She rang her neighbors, Helen and Fred Marini, at 5:30 AM. They rushed over to console their grieving friend, not anticipating how odd and disturbing the morning’s events would be. First, Joan shook a silver vial in front of Helen’s face. Joan claimed the pills had been found in her husband’s pocket at the hospital, and she didn’t know what they were as Adolf had never mentioned being on medication or going to the doctor. According to Fred Marini, “She was more exhilarated or excited than grief-stricken.” At some point, Joan had reached out to her ex-husband, Joe Reese, and he had arrived at the house. The couple watched as he retrieved Adolf’s burgundy Members Only jacket and tried it on, commenting that it was a little snug, but that it would be all right. Perhaps most suspicious was Joan’s industriousness that morning. Within three hours she had enlisted Helen to go over the insurance policies with her “to see how much he was worth.” After determining that Joan was the beneficiary of at least $65,000, Joan had Helen call Adolf’s employer to request the payout. That morning, in the immediate wake of Adolf’s death, was just the beginning of the odd behavior of Joan and the Reese family following Adolf’s death. Joan’s ex-husband Joe, who had been living with their daughter Terrie Reese, moved into the home Joan and Adolf had shared a mere two weeks later. Joan denied anything was amiss, claiming she was charging Joe rent. A Poisonous Twist Seven weeks after Adolf’s death, the ME received the toxicology results. The mysterious phone caller had been correct: Adolf did not die of a mere heart attack. He had been poisoned with cyanide. The results were surprising for a number of reasons. According to an April 1997 article, at the time of the case there had been no known cyanide poisonings in the state of Delaware since a woman had been caught after spiking her husband’s asparagus soup. Given two months had already passed, detectives were left with little to work with: no crime scene, no surveillance footage (it was taped over every two weeks), and limited recollections from employees at the track. And, no silver vial of pills. Joan said she lost it. With this revelation, Joan began to tell everyone that Adolf’s death was a suicide. Adolf’s family vehemently disagreed. At least two of Adolf’s children stopped speaking to their stepmother. According to his son Peter, “His death was like a bomb. When we found out it was murder, it was like a nuclear type.” The Investigation Given that cyanide is not as easy to obtain as many poisons, police tried to track down a lead. Soon they found that Terrie Reese, Joan and Joe’s daughter, worked as a material control operator at a chemical company and had access to cyanide. In October 1996, the police were ready to push the investigation forward. They brought Joan and Terrie Reese in for questioning. Both insisted on their innocence. Joan even told a local television station that she would be happy to take a polygraph to prove her innocence. Within days of being questioned, Terrie Reese had a nervous breakdown. She did not return to work for two months. Joan blamed Terrie being “humiliated” by the police investigation. The police pressed on, however. Although police will not comment on any polygraphs or their results, according to Joan, she and her daughter agreed to take polygraphs on February 21. Interestingly, although Terrie had returned to work after her breakdown, she had another relapse in early February and was hospitalized. Joan said she agreed to take the test because Delaware State Police Detective John Evans told her he would leave them alone if they passed. They didn’t. Joan told reporters her test was inconclusive and that her daughter had failed on a question: “Did you take chemicals from DuPont?” Conclusion At this time, no one has been charged with the murder of Adolf Czojor. Adolf’s death is listed as a cold case homicide by the Delaware State Police. There is a post on their homepage, but it has Adolf’s name spelled differently (Adolph) and says he was poisoned with arsenic rather than cyanide. As Joan’s ex-husband Joe Reese predicted on the one-year anniversary of Adolf’s death: “I just really believe this is going to end up as an unsolved case.” Questions Without the mysterious caller, it seems Adolf’s death would never have been revealed as a homicide. Who do you think the caller was? Obviously the deck is somewhat stacked given a lack of info on this case, but to what extent do you think Joan, Terrie, and/or Joe were involved in Adolf’s murder? If you were the cold case investigator, what angles would you be pursuing now, 23 years later? (I’ll note a crude search seems to indicate that Joan, 87, is still living in Bear, DE, and that Joe died in 2005). References I found very little on this case, and because of that my writeup is heavily based on an excellent article, “Mystery shrouds poisoning death” by Terri Sanginiti in the Wilmington, Delware, newspaper, The News Journal.

[Not Switzerland] My overview/tips for the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in Germany.
Schwarz – Black, and Wald – Forest. Simple. The official tourist website is very extensive - https://www.blackforest-tourism.com/ as is - https://www.black-forest-travel.com/ . Each end also has it’s own regional tourism website: the northern Black Forest National Park (Nationalpark Schwarzwald), and the southern High Black Forest (Hochschwarzwald). Those should cover just about everything you could want. The Black Forest is a roughly 60% forested mountain/hill range in south western Germany stretching down from Karlsruhe to the Swiss border. It never gets THAT high: at 1493m Feldberg is only just above the local tree-line. Generally speaking the northern part tends to be more touristy, and the southern end is the higher (and can offer some good Alpine views in the right weather conditions). What the actual area covered by it can be hard to define; some definitions go all the way down to the Rhein, others stop with the trees. Something about it seems to give people romanticised ideas (and many others sell it hard on that), making it sound like a magical location (indeed many people seem to – falsely - think that all the Grimm’s fairy tales originate from here). Maybe just the name itself does that. I certainly had such feelings that it was an exotic and exciting place when I went there the first time. However having been back many times I would say it is not a truly unique place (you can find comparable landscapes all over Germany and central Europe) and it isn’t any more dark or sinister than any other forest. but is still very nice and you do get scenes like this painting. I think it works better if you think of it as an outdoor activity area for those from northern/central Europe, rather than as a must-see for someone coming from the USA or Australia. Mark Twain wrote about it in “A Tramp Abroad”, which is free to read but that bit is much weaker than his accounts of Switzerland. Including the quote about the spas "Here . . . you lose track of time in ten minutes and the world in twenty" which is used by apparently everybody who writes about the area.
There are three clichés which are usually beaten to death: Cuckoo clocks, cakes, and ham. These are covered in more detail further down.
The other cliché thing is the hat with big red balls, the Bollenhut. Though oddly it was just a thing in a few protestant villages, but has now been taken to represent the mostly catholic Black Forest as a whole.
Tourism is a major source of income (originally tourism kicked off due to the spas which are still open). But tourism tends to be heavy in some areas and almost non-existent in others. It is very easy to find a quiet bit of woodland or hilltop. It is far enough from most standard European destinations to be more of a “passing-through” spot for people from further away so mass tourism mostly isn’t a problem outside of a few focal points like Triberg.
Towns/villages are best seen as starting points or easy places to reach, rather than the main focus (other than bigger places like Freiburg). Some are pretty, but none are very big and are just a nice place to grab some food or supplies. The most interesting sight is the giant wooden farmhouse which are very indicative of the area. Though most modern buildings are a fairly standard concrete design which keeps the overall aesthetics, but just isn’t the same.
Being mountainous the weather is a little more extreme than the surrounding areas, but only a little (this is not the high Alps). It still pays to check ahead and prepare of course. During summer weather is warm and sunny enough to grow wine, but there is also a very high rainfall and there can be cold snaps. It can be very snowy in winter, though in recent years this has been drastically reduced. The main problem in winter is the fog, so plan to go to the higher parts (if possible over 1000m) to avoid that.
Being a widely populated and touristy area you are never that far from food and shelter. But there can still be danger if you are caught out by the weather.
Clearly German is the default language. Getting by in other languages should be easy enough in the tourist hotspots. Though it might be a bit more hit and miss in the quieter and more remote areas. There is a local Alemannische dialect but that won’t be anything to worry about unless you want to eavesdrop on the locals.
Just to ruin a few magical things…..
The cake was probably not invented in the Black Forest. More on that later.
It isn’t especially linked to any fairy tales. There are some local myths and tales like any region has. But the Brothers Grimm were never known to even visit the area (plus they collected/recorded/edited as an academic exercise into culture, rather than wrote the tales), they lived further north - hence the Fairy Tale Road is up around Marburg and Kassel. So most of their works are more local to Hesse/Westphalia (though they would have existed in various forms all over the region of modern Germany, and some were told to them by French Huguenots). By all means read their tales (though ideally in the first edition version) take in the atmosphere and imagine the places that could be just like the stories, just don’t think that the itself Black Forest inspired those exact stories.c
It isn’t much of an ancient forest – the region was heavily deforested by 1850 with a monoculture of fast growing Spruce planted to replace the missing woods. Efforts have been made to fix this and it is looking much better, but it can still be very apparent in some parts.
Dark on Netflix is filmed in the Brandenburg/Berlin area – totally the wrong side of the country. The landscape is far too flat, and the brick houses are a rare sight in the south of Germany.
Gummy bears come from Germany but were invented in Bonn. The Black Forest Gummy bears that Americans go on about are made in the USA and unknown elsewhere. Showing the advert to my Black Forest native girlfriend produced something of a confused reaction.
You probably didn’t play here in Age of Empires 2. With the language set to German you are instead playing in “Dunkelwald” (dark forest). The Black Forest map is the right sort of region, but far too flat.
Getting around Realistically you need a car to explore the area properly. You can still see some parts easily enough without a car, but you will be a little limited and much slower (figure 2x the travel time).
The main scenic drive is the Schwarzwald-Hochstrasse, but there is also apparently: the Valley Road, the Spa Road, the Baden Wine Road, the Asparagus Road, and the Clock Road. Though most driving in the area will be scenic, especially on the quieter backroads.
Driving is mostly easy, but can be a little round-about with so many hills requiring diversions around them. Smaller roads might be narrow without markings down the centre, and single lane roads going up to or connecting smaller villages are not uncommon. Cyclists can be a surprise and then hard to overtake on the windy roads, then from behind you have motorbikes who are often suicidal and will try and overtake you on blind corners.
There are forest car parks that offer free parking. So it is very easy to park at the start of a hike or by a scenic lookout.
There are a few train lines, but the coverage is really far from total. There are also a few with historic trains running: Waldenburg-Liestal, Ettlingen-Bad Herrenalb (the Albtalbahn) and the Dampfzug Chanderli, between Kandern and Basel.
Bus routes from Freiburg to the bigger tourist spots tend to be slow but will do the job. Those covering smaller villages in quieter areas tend to be the “once or twice a day and stop everywhere” sort.
If you are using public transport then the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket offers a cheap day pass for local transport in the region, and it gets cheaper for each extra person in your group.
The white and green routes that are well signposted do a good job of keeping you away from traffic: either on quieter backroads, or on gravel roads through the forest. In places where you have to follow a major road there will at least be a safe side path.
The yellow signs are the mountain bike cross routes. This is distance and height gain on gravel-paths rather than single trails and technical downhills. I plan to do the Schwarzwald-cross route at some point in the future, though maybe cutting the length of some of the harder sectons….
Ebikes are becoming very popular. In more touristy spots you might see more groups on ebikes than hikers.
There are vast amounts of double or single trail paths that go through the forest which you can use. Often the marked footpaths follow gravel-roads rather than single trail, so it is easy to follow them. But this can be a little hit and miss with making the distances and climbs longer and harder.
Winter sports When there is enough snow there are lots of cross-country skiing options. Downhill skiing is mostly bunny slopes, though some areas like around the Feldberg are more extensive. However the snow in recent years has been so poor that you are more likely to need a mountain bike than a pair of skis. View points Too many to list. Castles and ruins There are not many castles in the Black Forest, mostly you will find the odd ruin.
Erberstein
Schloss Hohenbaden. A ruin.
You have some impressive castles and fortresses in the region. Like Hohenzollern Castle, Lichtenstein Castle, Heidelberg, Neuf-Brisach, Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg. But these are very much not in the Black Forest.
Klosterruine Hirsau.
Where to go I have mapped out the places listed below. In general if you pick a random point you will probably find something nice around it. In December many of these places have Christmas Markets, especially Freiburg. Main tourist spots Triberg, Titisee, Feldberg, and Baden-Baden are arguably the biggest tourist focal points inside the Black Forest. Anywhere within a short hop of the bigger urban areas like Freiburg will also likely be quite busy on nice days.
Freiburg (im Breisgau). Not really Black Forest (depending on who you ask), but a nice city and a good entry point.
Titisee (yes that is Titi-lake). REALLY TOURISTY. The historical home of tourism in the area, also home to a slightly comical number of boats.
Feldberg. The highest point in the Black Forest. See also the Feldsee just below it.
Schluchsee. A slightly quieter lake than the Titisee. It is a dammed lake so the changing water level leaves the sides a bit barren, and the north side is dominated by a busy road that gives you the roar of motorbikes anywhere in the area. By far the nicest part of the lake is the restaurant/café at Unterkrummenhof-Schluchsee.
Rothaus Braueri. The makers of the beer that dominates much of the region. They have a barestaurant/shop/exhibition/hotel at their brewing site.
Mummelsee.
Baden Baden. The classic spa/casino town. Like Freiburg it isn’t really the Black Forest, but makes a good starting point.
Triberg. REALLY TOURSITY. See also the local waterfall which is apparently the highest in Germany.
Food and drink Separating truly Black Forest and anything from that region is a little hard. Being a rural area there are plenty of local jams/honey/etc on sale
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest gâteau/cake). Quite why it got the name is unclear and there are various stories, it might be the flavouring with Kirsch (hence the name in German). The origin of the cake itself is also seemingly uncertain, with there being no absolute proof that it originated in the Black Forest. More likely it seems to have come from Bonn. You can certainly find it easily and enjoy it in the Black Forest though.
Schwarzwälder schinken (Black Forest Ham). A smoke-cured raw ham. In Europe this has regional protection, so it has to be produced in the region to a certain standard to have the name. The name seems to resonate strongly with people from the USA - where it is not under any protection and seems to be a common exotic sounding description slapped on the name of any old pork product (this can vary from something respectable looking, to a level of “DEAR GOD WHAT THE IN NAME OF FUCK IS THAT”). Whatever it is that Subway sells has certainly never been anywhere near the Black Forest. There is apparently a museum about the meat in Musbach bei Freudenstadt, and certainly one at the Feldberg. There is even a ham themed hiking route.
Other Alcohol. The cherry brandy Kirsch(wasser) is the most famous and traditional. There are various other fruit based Schnapps. There are also more modern drinks like Whiskey such as the Marder Whiskey or Black Forest (from Rothaus) and gin such as the Monkey 47 (to name just a few).
Wine is made in the area – especially in the Rhein valley around Freiburg.
Other bits There are endless little museums.
Cuckoo clocks (Kuckucksuhr). That other Black Forest thing. They might not have originated in the Black Forest, but they became very popular there. There is a museum, and Triberg and Schonach both claim to have the world's largest cuckoo clock, among other clock based touristy-things scattered around. You will never be short of the chance to buy one.
There is a long running and apparently popular German TV series set in the area - Die Schwarzwaldklinik.
Likewise if you can read German then you can read some local Krimis by the publisher Eamon.
Other points
For similar areas the Swiss Jura mountains are very close. Likewise the Emmental (especially around Napf) and Appenzell. The latter have the advantage that in addition to deeply folded wooded valleys, the landscape then rises up to the Alps.
There have been a few suspected wolf sightings but nothing to worry you – motorbikes present a far bigger danger.
A far realer danger than wolfs is hunters during the autumn – it is best not to go off of the paths then. You will see their high perches all over the Black Forest and Germany.
I don’t care how much I have been inconsistent with the ordering of English (German) and German (English).
43 Drivers in 43 Days - Day 17 - Nelson Piquet Jr. (Nelsinho)
Nelsinho Piquet. A bit of a more controversial driver, but a great one nonetheless. Good enough (well, sort of) for the hard world of both Formula One and NASCAR, and still decently young. Jr. was born in 1985 in Heidelberg, West Germany to Triple F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet and Sylvia Tamsma. His parents seperated soon after he was born, and for the first bit of his life, Nelsinho lived in the high-rise world of Monaco with his mother. When he turned 8, his mother decided growing up in a world not surrounding him with fame and fortune would be better, so he went to go live with his father who had finally settled down, retiring from Formula One the year before. He would attend an elite school which provided both American and Brazilian accredited education until he would be 16, when he would go on to race full time His first ventures in racing were Brazilian karting, which was the order of the day from the moment he moved to Brazil (in 1993) until 2001. Then, he transferred to Formula Three Sudamericana. He would do his 2 seasons in rather dominating fashion. His first year consisted of only 7 out of 17 races, where he would get 5th. His 2002 season was even more amazing, ending up with, out of 17 races, 16 poles and 13 wins, and he would win the championship with 4 races left. It should also be noted that this is his first venture with Piquet Sports, a team set up by elder Piquet to help his son's career (he would drive for them until he graduated to Formula One). His next step was to move to Great Britain, where he would compete in the British Formula Three championship. He would finish 3rd in the championship with 6 wins and 8 poles out of 23 races. He would also take 8th in the Macau GP, 2nd in the Masters of Formula Three race held at Circuit Park Zandevoort, and 3rd in the Korea Super Prix (all prestigious Formula Three races), with his performances winning him a test with the Williams F1 team. His 2004 season went his way, with him winning the championship with 6 wins and 5 poles out of 24 races. He did not do so well in the prestigious F3 races (10th in Macau and 8th at Zandevoort), but he then felt it was time for him to advance. He would also get more tests with Williams In 2005, Nelsinho went with his father's team to GP2, the final stepping stone before F1. With the additional money required for GP2, Piquet Sports sports would merge with Hitech Racing. His first GP2 season went admirably, if not great, with Nelsinho only finishing 8th in the championship with only 1 win and no pole positions. 2006 went better, but GP2 would be the first series Nelson would compete in full time and not win a championship in his tenure. He would finish 2nd to Briton Lewis Hamilton. But Nelsinho is nothing if not ambitious, so set his sights on F1 By this time, RenaultF1 had lost it's golden boy Fernando Alonso to McLaren, so they brought up one of their test drivers (Heikki Kovalainen) to partner longtime Alonso compatriot Giancarlo Fisichella. To fill the testing absence, Renault would pick up Nelsinho to do the arduous job of testing, where he would complete many thousands of Km of testing. By 2008, Alonso wanted back in with Renault after McLaren went.... poorly is a kind word to use there. Renault looked at their two options (Fisi had signed with Force India) and picked Piquet to be the #2 driver. And with that, Piquet began his career in the world's top level of Open-Wheel racing His 2008 year was very clearly a development year. Even with the hang-ups giving him a bit of lee-way for it being his first season, RenaultF1 would publically say that he needed to improve. At the end of the season, however, Piquet would shine, scoring a 2nd place at Belgium and a 4th place in Japan in two very well driven races. He would be re-signed for 2009, which didn't go so well. In his 10 races in 2009, he would score 0 points. After the German Grand Prix, he was fired from the team as a result of a falling out between him and his team boss/manager, Flavio Briatore. As a bit of revenge, Nelson revealed a little tidbit of info that showed how Renault had fixed the prior year's Singapore Grand Prix so Alonso could catch up after a Safety Car came out. This would send Briatore into a whirlwind of controversy, and make Piquet manager-less. After that, Piquet decided to try his hand at NASCAR, first testing for Red Horse Racing at Rockingham Speedway in 2009, who would give him, in the CWTS, a drive at Daytona for the NextEra Energy Resources 250 being sponsored by Websense and ArcSight. Billy Ballew Motorsports would also have him drive for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte, the WinStar World Casino 400 at Texas, and the VFW 200 at Michigan, sponsored by Graceway Pharmaceuticals and Hope for Haiti. He would also compete in the ARCA series for Eddie Sharp, where he would win the pole position at the Rattlesnake 150. Coming in to 2011, Kevin Harvick Incorporated would give Piquet his first CWTS full season drive, where he would be sponsored by Qualcomm, Autotrac, Bozzano, and Piquet Realty (of no relation to either Piquet Jr. or Sr.). There, he would score six top 5 positions, ten top 10s, and 10th in the championship. Turner Motorsports would also give him a drive at the Ford 300 in Miami in the Nationwide Series, where he would be sponsored by Bienvenidos a NASCAR, and finish 24th. In 2012, with the collapse of Kevin Harvick Incorporated, Turner was sufficiently pleased with Piquet's performance to give him another full season in trucks. This year would be even better, with Piquet scoring 2 wins, 3 pole positions, and 7th in the championship. He would also be a road course ringer for Turner in Nationwide, being given a drive in the Sargento 200 at Road America, where he would dominate the race from pole position, to give him his first Nationwide series win. He sufficiently impressed to where he was given a drive at the Food City 250 at Bristol, where he would finish 21st. Coming in to 2013, Turner decided it fit to move Piquet to a full time Nationwide series schedule. There, he would finish in the Top 10 5 times, and finish 12th in the championship and a 3rd in the Rookie of the Year challenge to Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson. He would also compete in the Kroger 250 and the Ford EcoBoost 200 in the Truck series for Turner Scott and NTS Motorsports respectively. For 2014, Piquet does not have a contract signed, but his past experiences seem to show him as a good driver that will get signed again, if he just keeps his finger of the “Tweet” button
