LDS BYU Student Kate Hansen Makes Olympic Luge Team
Only two spots were formally clinched before Friday.

While Jay Leno has made a name for himself in the online world as the man lucky enough to drive some of the best supercars on the planet in his Jay Leno’s Garage web-series, the latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage is a little different but still every bit as special.
