I have known Mel for 40 years. I had the chance to talk with him briefly at Kokomo on Saturday night and he seems very excited with the chance to promote Gas City/I-69 Speedway. I told him that I wished him all the luck in the world. I also told him that we would be there with our butts in the bleachers as many race nights as possible. Looking forward to midgets joining the program on a regular basis.
