Touching story

Dave Rudisell · 8/14/09, 4:31 PM

I got a letter from the father of Christian Allen. Christian Allen has been in the Army serving our country since March and is coming home finally on August 20th, His mom was wanting to have a party for him on Saturday the 22nd. He said no, he wants to come to Lawrenceburg Speedway to see the USAC Dick Gaines Race. If you see Christian at the track be sure to thank him for serving our country. We will get him on the mic at the races to talk about his duty in the Army.
I am touched by this story and am very happy he wants to spend his first weekend at Lawrenceburg Speedway.
Thanks, Dave

Good for you, Dave!

Why don't you do something special to honor him - and all of the others in service for our country?

Great Idea. How about a ride for him in the pace truck at feature time. He more than earned it.

That is tremendous. I know that I, for one, will never be able to do enough to repay those that sign on to put their everything on the line for me. Thank you SIR.
