I love going to this track!!!!! Would love to go here every weekend but you know we follow Chad Kinder ..He is going to be racing USMTS alot this year and until my hubby retires those will be out of reach for us especially since the gas is so high..... think I will be at Flora more this year...
Richard had the track looking really good... course Richard is never satisfied with himself
.. you guys did a great job with the track..While I was waiting at the pit gate to get in this little guy comes riding up on a junior sized 4 wheeler..I asked him who he was... his dad was standing nearby and said "this is Lil E.... I can't believe how Evan has grown....Everett Bradham's son....

Talked with Eddie Shamhart...he is working on a deal that will hopefully get him back in a car this year!!! Don't seem right not to see the #12s of Shamhart and the #5m of Randy McNeely out on the track....
I ran into Greg Burkett...Crew Chief of Randy's and Greg's son Ethan.... I asked how it felt not being in the pit working on a car.... He said it was going to take some getting use to... said he had been working on Randy's cars for 14 years......
,, I asked Ethan if he was going to be a racecar driver and he told me he was going to race go carts..... better start saving your money now Greg and Stacie.. I see a future racer ..and I think Grandpa Tom better save some too being he is the one that got Ethan started in go carts...And I got to meet another secret weapon.... When I was at Western Ky I got to see Randle Sweeney's secret weapon..."his grandson Tator ...........Well I met a little doll named "MADYLANN"....she is the Crew Chief for her dad Jarrod Koontz..... what a cutie Jarrod...
