  3. A few months ago, my grandmother became very ill requiring a lengthy hospital stay and a long recovery. Although her condition has improved 100% since then, my grandmother still requires some assistance throughout the day. Since my family and I provide that assistance, we couldn't all go and attend the race. I offered to stay behind and sell my tickets, so that other members of my family could still attend the Bristol race weekend. Unknown to me at the time, every other family member had also made the same decision. As a result, we all sold our tickets for the Spring Race (We still have our August Night Race Tickets) in order to stay and help out grandmother. No need to worry; grandmother's health has improved tremendously over the last few months. We anticipate a full recovery. We just figured this was the right thing to do for now. After all, we have no plans to give up the Season Packages anytime soon, and there is always next year (and August).

    Congrats to Kyle Busch for winning the snow ball fight and The Sharpie Mini 300.

    Sad News. Paul Dana lost his life today in Homestead Miami during practice for today's IRL race.

    He hit another driver who lost control and was sliding down the track at the time, right into the path of Dana. At ~200 mph, the head on crash send his IRL car end over end.

    He was 30 years young.
    God bless you Paul.

  8. Kurt had a great car. Not bad after having a tire go down and coming back from 39th. I know, I know, I'm the only one here who DOESN'T hate Kurt! Some good "Bristol bumping" today... as expected.
