Yes that was my main point getting new young fans to the tracks. I took 2 of my grand kids last year, 15 an 17 an my grand daughter was ready to go back. She had a great time in the pits getting to have her pic taken with some drivers as well as autographs. I think it would be great if more tracks could open the pits b4 racing. Seems like most fans leave at the end of the sprint feature. An in some cases the drivers are gone after their feature. Myself we stay for the whole show no matter what track we go to. I look forward to going to Gas City to get new pics of the drivers an cars. I try to respect all drivers since they come an put a show on for us fans. Also a big Thank You to you all who do take time with the fans. I also look forward to seeing old friends an hope to meet more of you fans as well.

P.S. Billy my girl friend still talks about the 1st time she met you in the stands at Gas City. It was her 1st year around racing an you called her a rookie fan...lol..Myself I have been around it for 50 years.
