Hi folks, hope you've got all your Christmas shopping done!

This week, we take a look at some of our favorite stories over at Georgia Racing History.com .

There's not a lot to do at a race track when it's raining. And while we don't like the wet conditions during a rain delay, there is one good thing about it - it's a great time to share racing stories. Like the one about how The King's first win was taken away from him in Atlanta by someone close to him. Or how Curtis Turner once learned the hard way not to lean on a certain driver. Or how Buddy Baker once learned about alligators in North Carolina.

You can read all about these in a column from me this week over at Georgia Racing History.com .

Happy Birthday wishes go out this week on Dec. 24 to David Ragan, on Dec. 27 to Gordon Pirkle and on Dec. 28 to Georgia Racing Hall of Fame member Jack Jackson.


Thanks everybody, and from all of us at Georgia Racing History.com, we wish you and your family a safe and Merry Christmas!
