I just got a few photos from one of my Showcar drivers of something special we did in 2004, and thought I’d share. We built and prepared a Wizard of Oz showcar of Jeff Gordon for DuPont Hot Hues for the Kansas NASCAR Cup race. Here are those pictures from the hospitality area of that race with some of the characters from the film. It takes a lot of hard work and a high level of performance to pull something like this off so successfully, and I’ve got the greatest group of people imaginable around me at Hendrick Motorsports who make it happen. Combine my people with the wonderful folks from DuPont, and you can see the result! Pretty cool!

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.
