Just a note of thanks to all the people who sent shirts, hats, money, etc. to benefit Chase Hemme. The bowling outing on Saturday had a very nice turnout, great to see lots of kids there to help their friend. Thanks to the generosity of race fans, they raised enough money to build Chase a handicap-accessible shower and then some. Chase is a 15-year-old who is confined to a wheelchair since being struck by a car a few years ago. His dad Harry died of cancer earlier this year, and was a longtime friend of mine. Three guys in particular read my column in NSSN about Chase a few weeks ago, and stepped forward to donate the plumbing fixtures needed. Boy, the world is filled with great people, eh?

I was so proud to see all the racing shirts, etc. that people sent from all over the country. We racers might argue and fuss amongst ourselves at times, but without a doubt, racing people are the greatest people on earth.:thumb

And I offer my thanks for helping make Harry's wish come true, even after his passing.
