That's one of the neatest stories I've ever seen here on IOW. Written by a true racer. I mean, think about it, how many guys can get in that many different types of race cars and be competitive in all of them? Kenny, Jr.'s probably second in that category. Kenny's act of kindness obviously made a hell of an impression on the kid.

It says a lot about that kid's parents, too. They've obviously taught their kids the value of gratitude and giving back. I bet that boy ends up being successful at racing and whatever else he does in life.
