I was hoping that the Comet would get a invite to Indy since he also has a midget

I was stumbling around the pits at Ocala last winter when I almost walked into a pickup and open trailer sitting in a dark area, all alone. I thought it had been parked there to keep it out of the way but then I realized there was a guy in a firesuit sitting on the back of the trailer. Later I saw BC and a couple of others helping him get strapped in and pushed out for hots. I actually thought it must be a local getting a little experience with USAC.
After getting back home in the Spring I started seeing him occasionally at USAC shows. You gotta give him a bunch of credit for what he does. Probably not going to be a big winner at the payoff window, but I'll bet he is a HUGE winner in his heart. He has my admiration.
