And apparently a free t shirt I was up in the stands when they opened the main gate and see this sea of yellow come in and figured out pretty quickly that it was the LPS crew. I had no idea not just the travel but he paid the gate. WOW!

I'll never forget the day I arrived way early to a race and he was throwing a party for his construction crews with a full spread of chops, burgers, metts bratts. Corn Cob. Slaw, The works and thats what it was a private party. About two pm LPS Insider goes around to about everyone on the hill and said COME EAT, There is plenty and probably fed several hundred fans on top of his crews. Not only did the probably cost him a small fortune then, But later at the concessions as well as I could barely eat a nacho's later in the evening.

Thanks Joe and mainly for bringing LPS back to glory but the other things as well!
Didn't he also once hold a free fan night that kinda backfired a bit as it was a little over capacity?

Joe has done an excellent job with LPS. Just look at how much the track has improved since he took over. Not only is he improving the track he is improving the fan experience. This is just another reason he is one of the best promoters out there. This simple gesture has probably gained him a few more die hard fans. Yes it probably cost him a little bit of money but I'm sure he will easily recoupe it from those same fans in the future.
