That is one of the coolest racing stories I have ever heard, and I have been around a little while.

Kenny, that proves you are a GREAT ambassador to the sport we all love!

Thank you!

That's one of the neatest stories I've ever seen here on IOW. Written by a true racer. I mean, think about it, how many guys can get in that many different types of race cars and be competitive in all of them? Kenny, Jr.'s probably second in that category. Kenny's act of kindness obviously made a hell of an impression on the kid.

It says a lot about that kid's parents, too. They've obviously taught their kids the value of gratitude and giving back. I bet that boy ends up being successful at racing and whatever else he does in life.

That is one of the best examples of 'Paying it forward' that I have ever heard,and I have been telling people for 40 years that short track racing people are the greatest in the world. Thanks for sharing ,Kenny.
