You know that person you haven’t spoken to in a little too long? Friend? Parent? Grandparent? Family member? CALL OR GO SEE THEM TODAY! Quit putting it off. Today is the day. God sent me as your reminder, now get crackin’! Not an email or a text, a real visit, or a phone call! If […]
During the hot months of Summer, my mind will occasionally drift back to my days on a race team. There’s nothing like being on the asphalt for the day, loud engines, weird smells, head on a swivel, the whole experience. Today, I’m reminded of the times I served as a Tire Specialist on the #1 […]
Though I’ve been gone from Hendrick Motorsports for 3 years, I stay in close touch with several departments and individuals there, and still make myself available as a resource for them. Recently, I saw this video and immediately recognized some of the cars, and one of the extras. Rick Hendrick is friends with Zac Brown, […]
*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.

I know some moms. I know moms who have never had their own children, but are raising someone else’s. I know moms who have lost their children. I know children who have lost their moms. I know women who long to be a mom one day. I know women who have struggled to be a […]
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 […]
This isn’t funny to me. This meme is making fun of an overused Christian saying. I found this on the Internet the other day and instead of, “Thoughts and Prayers”, this shows, “tots and pears”.
