DANICA___YOU GOT COMPANY
Current NASCAR
I watched this young lady race a couple times last year, although I can't remember in what series. Trucks? I do remember her though and remember thinking to myself in one of those events that "this young lady can drive". I also remember, at the time, I was wondering how far she could go if she had the PR backing of Danica. Guess now we may find out if talent wins out over hype!
What was your favorite track growing up and why?
General
Like Leon, I have to go with Columbia Speedway because that is where I saw my first race in 1952. It was Columbia, Newberry, and a couple other small dirt tracks my Uncle Bobby took me to until 1957. In the spring of 1957 there was to be a 300 mile race at Darlington, about 70 miles from where we lived. I will never forget my first look at that track very early in the morning that spring day as we drove into the infield. Over all the years since, Darlington is the track that tugs at my heart, even moreso now that NASCAR has kicked it aside as an unwanted stepchild although they have allowed one event a year which, I admit, is better than none, but not having the Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend just isn't right. But, those are the thoughts of an old man who remembers the best there ever was fighting that track and the heat to win those races. There probably will never be another sight in racing to equal sitting in turn three (the old turn three) and watching those cars come in up against the guardrail and slide along it. I know we were driving in one day when they were practicing and I noticed how the rail "wiggled" from outside the track. So, although Columbia Speedway is where it all started, where I saw my first race, where I met The King at HIS first race, and where I drove my first race, I guess it's Darlington that has this inexplicable hold over me.
Devastating News-The Passing of Wanda Lund

What a tragic loss to her family, friends and all who knew her. Wanda was so full of everything good in life. She will be deeply missed. She and Tiny are together again. Somehow that thought consoles me and almost makes me smile to think of the joy the two of them are sharing at the moment. God bless you Wanda.
