Who's your hero(s)?????

Dick Gaines, Chuck Amati and Pancho Carter.

Jerry

My wife - of all the people I have met in my life both inside and outside of racing - she is the person I admire the most

My wife and my mother. My wife for accepting the fact from March to November she is pretty much a weekend widow.

My late mother because she put up with my father and I coming home looking and smelling like crap after a long weekend of wrenching at the track.

Ray Kenens, Don Walker, Ron Fisher, Jim Elliott

My father.

Racing wise?

Pancho Carter, Nick Fornoro Jr., Tony Elliot, JJ Yeley, Brett Hearn, Jeff Gordan, and Jon Stanbrough

Growing up, the guys I always wanted to run to the pits after the race to see were Jack Hewitt and Tony Elliott. Couldn't find two nicer and fan-friendly guys. :respect:

I was a big fan of Jonathan Vennard for a long time but realized he was just a stroke :loser: :rolling

Outside of racing would be my old man... It's because of him I'm even into racing and following the career path I am today... After all, I am "his own lil' A.J." :O:

Gary Burton (dad)...AJ Foyt... Rick Ferkel... The king

A J Foyt, Tom Bigelow, Rollie Beale, and in the current group DD,JJ,Tony Stewart
