This. This is why dirt track racing is one big family. This is why one hash tag turned sticker is changing lives one beautiful moment at a time. Sprint car drivers really are the gold standard.

I got my love for sprint car racing from my dad. Today would've been his bday. I love to share on days like this is the beauty of his headstone. It's because of him my passion for racing runs deep & I started writing. He'd be bragging about what I chose for him if he could. 😁
There is literally no reason to be this kind of race fan. The theme of the race isn't throw your beer cans everywhere or toward the race track. This is the behavior that's wrong in our sport and ruins everything.
10 yrs ago, my best friend was hit on his motorcycle on his way home from his navy base & killed. This was my 21st bday & depicts our friendship perfectly. As a corpsman he served in Iraq, North Korea, & Afghanistan alongside Marines. Make memories where you can. I'm glad I did.
I don't care how drunk you are. Calling me a c*nt because you were purposely shaking my trailer & then spending the next hr + throwing things at my door & trying to break in is NOT okay. ALL because you couldn't use your words to ask me nicely to move my truck so you could party.
Some of the best memories I have with my dad involve Open Wheel. He had a whole collection that's been lost over the years (don't get me started) It's my goal to have a complete collection. This is the 1st issue ever & pretty cool to add to my collection.
Thank you

The most charming moment in World of Outlaws media day at Charlotte Motor Speedway today.
Young hotshoe Gio Scelzi asks a sincere question to the legendary Donny Schatz and gets a really thoughtful answer.

. Every weekend we came this year was an incredible opportunity to forget about the chaos for awhile, it was definitely needed.
One year ago today at this very racetrack, I met this guy. We've trekked all over creation since to races. He's supported my writing, photos, and even my horses with his whole heart since. Probably no better place to celebrate an anniversary than the sprint car capital.

For argument sake, how insulted would you be if you spent $50k on a truck (paid asking price no negotiation even, preapproved) & the salesman handed you a truck with the gage like this? (Aprox 50 miles to E.)

They say loss is eases as time ages Grief, mourning, loss, has never followed linear guidance. Day 1 or day 2555, hearts still feel the raw pain from being ripped from our chests. Happiness is fleeting an action grief shall never. We will always remember BC.
