When I read the beginnings of this post earlier today, I was pretty fired up. I've waited all day trying to decide what I wanted to say & I still am not sure where to go with this.

I don't know whether somebody was just spouting off & got called out on it, then it went bad? Is it somebody with a chip on their shoulder about Shane or someone else? Who knows?

I can only say that I've been lucky enough to help out on the Truckers team at every race beginning with the April 24th race at Bloomington. I've got to work with Shane at the track and hang out some away from the track. While I can't say I know him as well as some, I have grown to think he's a pretty good guy and am glad to know him. I have to admit that going in, my uninformed opinion was negative. I only vaguely knew of his past, and I heard he tore some stuff up.

When you only have a "snapshot" of someone or read a headline, that is no way to form an opinion.

To those who've had his back on here, I know he'd appreciate that. Those posts have been pretty spot on, and they come from people who would know.

Good luck to Shane this weekend in Richmond. I look forward to working with him when he gets back next week.
