CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As a car owner whose teams are struggling to keep up with multicar megateams, seven-time champion Richard Petty has a solution to guarantee those who built NASCAR stick around: franchising. "I don't know if I'll live long enough to see it or not, but it will probably happen someday," said the man still widely referred to as 'The King.'

ALCC Award Winners
To improve and publicize the professionalism of its members, the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado annually sponsors its Excellence in Landscape Awards. For more than 20 years, ALCC has given these awards to companies for both large and small projects in multiple categories. Judges come from leadership in the green industries of Colorado including Colorado Nursery Association, American Society of Landscape Architects and others. The judges work from slides and narrative descriptions of the projects without knowing who built, designed or entered the projects. The type, size and cost of projects make no difference in the judging. Criteria for awards include the design impact, attention to detail, degree of difficulty, overall appearance, quality of construction, quality of plant materials, and meeting the needs of the owner.
