All of us show up to win. That race means more than most other if not all races. Dave is a driver I always use as a standard of competition at any track. I congratulated Dave and Lynn and his crew after the race. Dave should have won several 500's but had freak deals take them away. I wish him and Lynn all the best on their upcoming nuptuals. I mainly want my team to know they did everything they could and then some to put our car in a position to win, we just got beat. I tried to push the rules like all people in racing have at one time or another and I was penalized, for that I apologize to them.
Very well put Eric I think that was most professional words I ever read on her, I still would like to say congraduations to all 33 drivers of 61st LIL500. GOD BLESS youall in the future. Butch Wilkerson #1
