Saw this on Hoseheads, still gives me chills, can't believe this was over ten years ago:

Love the respect being given on the track by the big names.

I agree! Was in the pits that night and don't really remember anything about the racing or even who won, but when Brad was on the track, the atmosphere was absolutely electric! Very, very special moment-when you think about all the guys that have been injured like that...how few ever get the chance to come back and make a few laps and pull in the pits and get out of the car on their own terms and say they beat the place. On top of that came the realization pretty quickly that after 10 years, Brad still had the skills to run very competitively-even with hand controls- and you could tell he really wanted to run even harder than he did. I'll never forget that night!

The laps by Doty were the coolest thing I have ever seen at a race track, lots of moisture in the eyes that night.

Brad shows why they called him "Mr. Determination"

Thanks for posting that. I had never seen it before, I heard about it a long time ago and talked to Brad when I was in the process of Building my Hand Controls, He is one cool guy He gave the me motivation to find a way to make Hand Controls to race again!

Your Welcome!

Glad you got to finally see it. I remember being in the pits that night and having goose bumps.
