Thanks for all the comps. It was a great win for us at a very tough place.

I would just like to thank Casey Shuman, Mike Cray of St. Louis and my great mechanic and engine builder, Bill Klein of North Olmsted, OH.

First of all, Casey Shuman is for real, IOW. No drama, no nonsense and extremely easy to work with. We had the Spike/Gaerte Ford there which had only been out a few times and we were somewhat in the dark as to it's capabilities. Casey, who had never seen the DuQuoin track before, took the bull by the horns, and produced a steller performance in that car bar none. He was spectacular there to say the least. He made all the right moves at the right time in the feature. It was a great win for him. Congratulations, bro.

Second, my right hand man at the track, Mike Cray from St. Louie, made all the right changes and nuances in consultation with Casey to make the car perform correctly. He had a game plan and it worked to perfection. Mike is a wonderful person and a great setup man. You're the man!

Thirdly, my mechanic who has prepared my cars and engines since the beginning, Bill Klein. This guy is a genius with engines and builds a heck of a powerplant. That particular engine was completely rebuilt from the ground up by him. If you were there at DuQuoin, you saw first hand that we were able to easily out drag the Esslingers down the straights. That Gaerte Ford is the former world record holder at Pikes Peak International Speedway.

And thanks to all the fans for coming out for this annual race. It was a great evening!
