of your screen, right around and in and around the mountain and wave clouds and there's a couple of we'll see those at times. but otherwise, it's clear out there as you can see. it's clear to see that

do you like? we've heard names as favorite and potentially the underdog in tony stewart, what's your take? >> to me the two fastest. i don't care what happened last week, this is a competitive series. guess what, he's fast again. and the guys in the championship in for the chase, there's probably 12, 13 others that look like they're running the same speed. that's going to be an interesting race because the guys qualified near each other and as soon as the green flag drops they'll be racing each other. one position is one point in this three-race segment we're in right now. you have a mistake and have a bad race, it's hard to get out of that. sove out right now. >> so certainly a lot riding on the race today. we talked about how special the magic mile is for you. do you have any tricks of the trade here? >> well, for me, this race track is unique. there's no other race track like this in the country and that means there's an opportunity. because you don't run around tracks like this very often. you have to drive it differently and different skills required. it requires a lot of aggressiveness at the right places and you need to drive in too much speed before the center of the corner, it messes up the center and the exit. so all of those little things, i know it looks like cars going around in a circle, but i promise you it's not. a lot more going on than having the car driving the way that and what his car will give yo and you can't just drive the car the way you want to drive it all the time. you have to drive what the car will give you technique in itself. and one thing and then the next lap your car gets tighter and it doesn't turn well, you have to adjust to that as a driver. there's a lot going on in the cockpit. >> we're looking forward to the race and thank you for giving us so much to look forward to with the race today. >> there's so much on the line and the championship means so much to everybody. i think you'll see the incensety on the race

economic research based in laconia. great to be here. >> nice to have you back. the income numbers about to be put up on the screen are from theen what's driving the incomes not only in new hampshire,

household income is bumping up. >> let's look at the median income and here it is. you can see the change. a period from 2008 to 2015. that is indicative of income going up. comment? >> yeah, early on in this down turn and even into the recovery, fred, household income was dropping. people were losing ground relative to inflation. this year, median household income went up over 5%, over and above inflation, which is a first time since the recovery began that it's shown up in the co next graph. this shows it by category of income, lowest and median and highest. explain what we're looking at. >>

growth. spreading across a broader spectrum. >> now, new hampshire, pay attention to the next graph. this is significant. >> here is new hampshire, total income jumped by nearly 5 billion this year and look at the three years. march of 2014 on the far left, and then in the middle, march of 2015, and then march of 2016 on the right. which is the increase. again. >> yeah, well, this h everything, helps services and retrail trade and growth rate is twice as high. this recovery seven or eight years in the process is back into the household spectrum of the economy and in the form of rising incomes. >> right. the pew research center as you know, good research comes out of the pew research center as well as your office. they have the nationwide study that just came out that shows other things, income. >> yeah, that's true, if you look over the longer term. but this year says that this is the first year in the recovery where the middle class has seen some real noticeable, measurable gains. so, we're chipping away at it, but there's no doubt that the middle class lost ground. >> and it seems to be disappearing by numbers. >> right, right, a lot of it's slipping downward and some is moving upward. again, these numbers show that last year for the first time. >> and what had new hampshire income going up? what's particular to new hampshire, do you think that might be indicative and special to new hampshire in terms of the re reason? >> really had a lot of job growth and our unemployment rate is low and wages are bid up in new hampshire and the number of workers is rising. if
