I will say this, since the passing of Jesse Hockett, nobody has embodied the spirit of The Rocket more than Brady has. Winged. Non-winged. 410. 360. Sprint. Midget. Anywhere. Anytime. This guy will show up and compete for the win. And he'll do it on a moderate race budget. Brady and his family are such nice people, too. It's hard to not be a Brady Bacon fan. I know I am.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.
And ironically, Brady will be wheeling Jesse Hockett's old #77 car Wednesday night non wing at Valley Speedway. He will also be in his Fatheadz #99 with the ASCS doing double duty.

Not only do they attend a ton of races they feed most of the drivers and fans some of the best cooking around. What I am trying to say is hook, line ,and sinker.
His family is from the Tulsa area. His dad and grandfather both ran sprint cars in the Oklahoma area. Dad was a shoe when he drove and did it on a ltmd budget as well.

Tom, not sure of Eddie, but Brady's dad is Leon. The okienonwingfan might know of Eddie.
