Happy Birthday Chris! Down through the years I have had the priveledge of interviewing hundreds of drivers and motorcycle racers from NASCAR and Indy Cars down to the local Saturday night Street Stock racer, but the one I will always remember most was with Chris in 2002 when he visited Perris Auto Speedway.

I have been reading his weekly column since I was a little kid going to Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways and getting a copy of National Speed Sport News every week. His column is the best in the business. The facts and knowledge is incredible. Chris is truly a legend in the sport.

Another thing I always enjoyed when I would see Chris somewhere was fan's reaction when they would hear his distinctive voice. They would stop and look around to see where it came from until they spotted him. They knew exactly who it was and the ones who went over to see him were always greeted in a warm appreciative manner.

Happy Birthday Chris,
Scott Daloisio
