They got hit with a tornado Her house is there but has a couple trees on it. Not sure about everyone around her or the track. She shared some pics on her FB Page. Powers out.

I shared a vid of the Tornado on my FB page, Nasty jumper that hit here and missed there. But it did enough damage. I prayed the second I knew about it.

Hope everyone around the track area is ok.

Prayers go out to Jen, Dan and everyone else affected by this storm. First off, glad no one was hurt bad. Couldn't believe how long it stayed on the ground. The racing family will stick together in times of need.

Thanks everyone!! Was a very intense and scary few minutes. It was bright and sunny the whole time. House has minimal damage but out of the 10 trees I had on my property, only 6 are standing and all of those had to have some branches removed. These trees have been around for 20 years so it looks really different now. But, every single person in my neighborhood is OK. Today was amazing to see all the people come out to help each other. Chainsaws, water, food, hugs, laughs and encouragement.

Personal shout out to Hunter Maddox who drives the 24M sprint car. He put on my new roof and new gutters just within the last 10 days. He came out right away last night when Dan called him. And he was here first thing this morning with his crew and removed all my trees and is fixing my roof and gutters. He’s been around this whole neighborhood helping people. He’s an outstanding young man. If you’re at the track, buy a tshirt from him because he is one of the good ones!!
