Kenny, it was a pleasure to welcome you and Becky to our "family." Your wealth of racing experiences and your ability to share them with others makes for hours of enjoyable conversation. We all look forward to your next visit to the Highbanks.

I can only echo your sentiments regarding the racing at "The World's Fastest Half Mile." Aside from some fearful moments following Caleb's incident, the weekend was pure joy. And like you, I sincerely hope USAC, should they choose to be involved in 2014, will once again include the Silver Crown division. Hopefully more car owners will want to join in on the fun next year. In my mind, Belleville is the perfect track for the champ cars.

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to USAC, the NCK fair board and all involved for putting past differences aside and once again bringing a great event to the heartland of America. We're certainly looking forward to an even bigger event next year.
