Niagra Falls, New York/Ontario

Hearsay escorted Lee and Rodney Casstevens to the famed Niagra Falls recently. None of them, however, attempted to go over the falls in a barrel or to walk across them on a tightrope.

Tanzania, Africa

Hearsay is continuing his world travels, this time in Tanzania, Africa! Stephanie Mathis is a friend of the family, and she served as a missionary in the country. Thanks to Stephanie and her fiance, Steven Berbec, for taking care of Hearsay during his most recent adventure!

Here's Hearsay in a town square, trying to figure out the way home.

Concord, North Carolina

Tim Flock once had a live monkey named Jocko Flocko ride with him during races. Now, Jason Keller has Hearsay.

The intrepid Hearsay rode with Keller, the Nationwide Series' all-time leader in career starts and money won, during the Oct. 16 Dollar General 300. After qualifying 19th, Keller -- and Hearsay -- finished the night in 17th place, one lap down to race winner Kyle Busch.

This was Hearsay's vantage point during the race:



Before the race, Keller took time for a photo op with Hearsay:



Keller zips around the 1.5-mile Lowe's Motor Speedway, with Hearsay tucked on board:



Thanks to Bryan Hallman for the awesome photos, and to Dennis Punch for delivering Hearsay safely and soundly to the race track!
