*Quick Summary: The author adds a personal eulogy as a memorial to Alesha Gainey.* On August 28th, Alesha Gainey died. An end to the life of a wonderful person. Alesha had a major physical issue years ago that damaged her organs and left her vulnerable to quite a few serious conditions in the time since. […]
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 whole 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 […]
*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. Certainly there will be several more in the next few years as well. Beyond those stars, I was also fortunate enough […]
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!

For his birthday today, I present: My dad rode in a NASCAR Winston Cup car at the old infield road course inside 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. […]
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”. 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 […]
