On this day in 1999, Ricky Hendrick won his fourth NASCAR Winston Racing Series Late Model race. It was exceptionally emotional for us as it was the first win his dad Rick was able to be in Victory Lane with us. Rick was still quite weak from his Leukemia treatments, but to have him at Concord Motorsport Park with us and be able to win, was a real boost to him and us. It was hard for those of us who have known Rick for years to see him so tired and weak. He had his motor coach available so he could take naps while riding from his house to the track, and for down times between the events, but he stayed wide awake and on the radio for Ricky’s practice, qualifying, and races. It was great to have him back at the track with us.
