Jerry Schafer, the man who has been producing, directing and creating Las Vegas shows for more than 40 years, unveiled "NO MSG: A Musical Variety Show in Good Taste" at the July 21 premiere in Chinatown.

"NO MSG" is a musical variety show fit for the entire family, performed in the new Chinatown showroom at 4255 Spring Mountain Road, also completely created by Schafer. The 94-minute show features the New Dynasty Acrobats from Wu Qiao County China, the Valentine Singers, a ventriloquist who uses a chicken and a parrot rather than the old staple of a wooden dummy, a man who performs the 3,000 year old practice of face changing and the Jamie Townsend Band.

The younger Parker, 19, started the season driving for Jerry Spilsbury's Quality Motorsports team with Mike Cofer and Tom Lovelady as teammates and his dad as the crew chief. Near the halfway point of the season, Parker Sr. and Spilsbury agreed to end their relationship and the elder Parker was hired by Lovelady Racing.
