Not very far. We had a great pre game in honor of the Cowboy. Carson Garrett, dad and crew got to enjoy some Dewigs BBQ. They are some awesome folks and were favorites of Jim. He’d be happy even tho the race got rained out. I’ll get a shirt from you next race!
Eat dirt, be happy
Let’s go Brandon!!

Due to my late night at Bloomington, I required some extra time to rest up and I arrived a little after 3:00 and the race car haulers were lined up preventing access to the front parking lot.
I went ahead and marked seats on the backstretch.
After returning to my car, I called Amy Mead and jokingly asked if I could get a to go plate delivered to my car on the backstretch parking area.
Lo and behold, I was sent a marvelous plate of ribs, pork sandwich, salad, veggies and even dessert.
I very much enjoyed it, and it reminded me of the many times Jim and I searched out and enjoyed barbecue during our trips to the races.
A fitting tribute to the man who enjoyed auto racing and good food, especially barbecue, so much.
