Tracy is one of the nicest people you will ever find in racing.

I am so glad he has made a comback in racing like he has.

It's nice to see a sports athlete on the news for a good reason and not some legal trouble.

Have you ever met Tracy Hines? I'm just kidding. I like Tracy.

Great video on that deal. This is becoming one of the best comebacks I can remember in racing. Honestly, last year just had something missing without him, and he raises the level of competition so much just by himself...

I am looking forward to seeing him back in Tracy Hines form this year and hopefully going after some pretty big numbers on the USAC win list...

I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting Tracy and his wife and both are a huge compliment to this great sport.

He was racing at Farmers City a few years ago with the Hoffman car and won the feature. I was waiting in his pit after the race and his wife and I had such a great conversation that night. I wanted to buy a shirt and bless her heart she tried her darnedest to find those shirts but couldn't so we had to wait till Tracy got there.

As cruel as this may sound, I am glad he got "bumped" back to USAC. Watching him drive a midget, sprint, or Silver Crown is just great. he is a smart driver and doesn't bonzai. Clean racer, very smooth and respectful of others on the track. That is a reason Don Moore has Tracy drive his equipment. Not to many drivers out there drive with their head and not their foot.

I agree....much like with his current boss, once you get to know him, he's a great guy. Spent some funny hours with him about 10 years ago hitching a ride back from Belleville.
