Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a NASCAR driver. I retired after being a newspaper reporter for 51 years. However, that career did get me a ride at 155 mph plus in a NASCAR race car , a ride in an F-106B where we pulled 9Gs off the runway and broke the sound barrier, an opportunity to ride in a double winger stunt plane during an air show, a ride in Vampire jet and the opportunity to drive a small Formula race car. I used to cover the races at Loudon and met a lot of drivers including Dale Earnhardt. I specialized in covering World War II veterans, my heroes. I met crew members from the Enola Gay, Bocks Car, the Tuskegee airmen, Chuck Yeager, Pappy Boynton. Francis Grabreski, an Army nurse with 13 battle stars, several Pearl Harbor survivors, including one from the Arizona and lots of others. They are truly all heroes as far as I concerned.
