Ballou Motorsports would like to say thank you to the anonymous fan that made a visit to their pit tonight.

An older gentlemen stopped by the pit, made some small talk with Ballou then walked away. A quiet gentleman with not a lot to say, he returned with a gift. He held in his hand a cash gift, handing it to Ballou he said "here I'll fill your gas tank up". After making sure the gentleman really wanted to pass this along, Ballou said thank you and the gentleman walked away without saying much more.

Certain he's a special kind of race fan, and hoping he frequents this message board Ballou Motorsports would like to say thank you. It was a bright spot in what started off to be a not so good evening.

We hope more fans will consider doing this for their favorite driver in the future.

The fans are the ones that make this deal fun and for some of us they make it possible to continue to chase our dreams. Thank you from all of us at Spencer Racing for everything you do to help each and every one of us.
