I appreciate Tim Leeming's willingness to step in

Earlier this week, I got an email about a re-election fund raiser event for my local city alderman. Its scheduled for next week. I'll be out of town and will miss it. But considering who the host is, I replied someone would be glad to attend in my absence.

Name of guest: Tim Leeming

Name for nametag: Legend

Special requests: Want to be seated next to Mr. Waltrip

Tim, thanks for doing this. I'm pretty sure DW and Bev will accept your out-of-state check.

I deeply appreciate the assistance and support I receive from Chase each day with the "Racing History Minute". I also appreciate Chase's willingness to allow me to appear in his behalf at the indiated Campaign Fundraiser Kick-off Party. However, holding the title of "The Legend" entails huge responsibilities to my fans and supporters. As such, I do not endorse political figures nor appear at political fund raising events. It is also necessary to refuse such endorsements, even for financial renumeration, as my fans and friends include those of varied political convictions.

Sorry, Chase. Please offer my sincere regrets to the hosts of this event. You may tell D.W., however, if he can find a K-Mart still in business, I will accept his invitation of yearsago to meet him in the parking lot of said K-Mart.

Be safe in your travels!

I guess The Legend doesn't like pizza! He coulda just said an appearance would interfere with his Legendtorial broadcast on Tuesday night.

lol...WHAT! The Legend is turning down food?........Oh my.......

Yes, Bill, me turning down food is an indication of the end of the world! Get your affairs in order.

LOL!

LOl... your guys are awesome!
