Dave, you got me to thinking and that's hard to do. I wonder if this is the same Monte Carlo built by E.Zervatkis for Lennie Pond around 1976. Lennie ran the Monte Carlo built by Zervatkis at Martinsville with experimental brakes and they failed during the race. The car ran super until they failed though. I do agree, THAT is a Monte Carlo in Ray's picture.

I hate tosay it, but I live in Chesterfield County and can not pull for Denny Hamlin. I've just heard too much about his character around here and this situation just backs it up. Iguess I'm too old to understand todays thinking, but just go ahead and marry the girl. I'm sure Mr. Gibbs and Fedex will love this publicity.

Has DH given any thought to his child being called the "B" word or does that apply now. Also, wouldn't this be a detriment to NASCAR, so is there a penalty coming from Brian?

Dave, sorry for a late reply. I don't know about the horses. I'm just an old VA boy traveling from Ettrick, VA to Concord, NC 2-3 times a year to visit friends and go to some of the race shops.

I have gotten off of I-85 and drove through Liberty to Rt.49. Several years ago we even stopped by the Roush Shops when they were in Liberty. The Roush people were always very friendly to us. Now we go to the Roush shops in Concord when i'm there.

Hey, if you are ever in Concord, you need to go to Celebrity's Hotdogs on Rt.73. It's owned and operated by former driver Steve Grissom. They have great hotdogs.

I'm going to Ralphs BBQ this weekend in Weldon, NCand hope it's as good as what Parkers looks like in your picture.

Have a great day.

Johnny Mallonee,

Thanks for such a great story. I do something similar when i visit friends in Concord. I can't wait to get off of I-85 and get on 220 through Randleman and Level Cross to get on Rt. 49. Rt. 49 is a much better road than I-85. It takes me straightto 601 in Concord.

I do wish that you had a camera though. I would have enjoyed seeing a picture of #45 & #42. The Pettys have always been a great family.

Thanks,

Don Evans
