Harmon takes ashes for spin
Posted: Monday March 03, 2008 09:43AM ET
Mike Harmon was standing at the garage gate Thursday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, waiting for clearance to begin work on his Nationwide Series car, when a woman approached with a bewildering request. She asked Harmon to drive the ashes of friend Big George Helms around the track. Harmon took the urn and taped it to the fire extinguisher of his car, and there it rode for the entire practice session Friday afternoon. Afterwards, overcome with emotion, Big George's friends hugged Harmon and thanked him.
