which why I will always support Jonathan Byrds. We all love the dirt tracks. Most of us love Indycar. When you have a family that has brought a few of these drivers to the speedway support them as much as you can. I have not been to the new restaurant but they have really good fried chicken.

I've always been more rewarding to companies that support racing. Just the other day we needed some degreaser. Instead of buying the no name generic kind I spent the extra $1.50 and bought mean green

Hard Core truth right there. Your family brought 2 amazing drivers to Indy this year. I have the up most respect for everything you have done. No matter what driver you pick, I will be standing in line to purchase a shirt next May!

I, and I am sure many others thank you for what your family has done, not just with Bryan , but with Rich, and all your other efforts.
