Lord Amighty people,
Ya'll got me more red in the face than Pauls' sunburn could ever be, It is my honor entirely.
The folks who derserve the thanks are the thousands who have provided this sport with its history and continue to provide its future. Theirs is the dignity and glory.
Having done my dead level best to be one of the few we read about and cheer for or against on raceday, it is impossible not to appreciate the combination of skill, dedication and luck that is required to perform on the NASCAR stage. Each of them is worthy of respect.
And equally deserving of respect are the hundreds of thousands of racers who have taken to the tracks around the country week in and week out in pursuit of the same dream. It is a sad but hard fact that many of these drivers of equal or even superior skill to those who shine in the big show, but circumstances and fate may never bring their talent under the big lights.
It is not my writing, but the tagline revived here for a bit is as good a summation of the sport as I have heard.
As always Thumbs Up for all the men, women and their families who created, glorified and perpetuate the sport!
See ya'll in print and believe me, I learn everyday from all of ya'll!!
