*Quick Summary: The author waxes nostalgic about the personalities he’s worked with through the years in racing.* I have been fortunate to work with seven current NASCAR Hall of Fame members through the years at Hendrick Motorsports. Certainly there will be several more in the next few years as well. Beyond those stars, I was […]
Thought I’d update you briefly on my namesake Myrick Smith. His mom Jessica and dad Eldon say he’s doing well and growing up so fast! What a cool little dude! I will never get over having a human being named after me! What a huge honor!
A great podcast with an interview from my friend Donnie Floyd, in whom I am most proud. I’ve known Donnie for close to 20 years and I’ve been privileged to see his walk with God mature and come to where he is now with MRO. To leave a job he knew so well for the […]

For his birthday today, I present: My dad rode in a NASCAR Winston Cup car at the infield road course in Charlotte Motor Speedway in the mid-80’s with crew chief Richard Broome as the driver. He hung on by just holding the roll bars on the passenger side, as there was no second seat. Things […]

It is designed specifically to make fun of Christians. Current social media trends make great fun of Christians’ typical, generic, […]
Last week, a couple of my former employees and I went to visit racing legend Frank Edwards. We all used to work alongside him years ago. We like to get different groups together to go see Frank occasionally because he was such a prominent member of our team, and he lives so far away. For […]
One of the few heroes I’ve ever had passed away last week. Charlotte, NC born evangelist Billy Graham, while not a perfect man, was certainly someone to look up to. His dependence on the Bible made him the focus of some pointed criticism through the years, but I believe he spoke of what he read […]
We went to pay our respects to Billy Graham at his library today. We were on one of the first few buses allowed in after President George W. Bush left. It is always very special to be at the Billy Graham Library, and particularly so this time as we said goodbye to someone who felt […]
For much of my career I was passive-aggressive. I’d like to apologize to any former co-workers for that, and let you know I’m now passive-couldn’tcarelessive. I’m sorry and you’re welcome, all at the same time!
