Nice piece by Tim.... However... Tim! Review Danica's Perfect Lap at Daytona !! She Earned & Won the pole.....Fair is Fair ! BTW/ Jeff !! It sure is Fresh around here these days !!! Ahhhhh
Thanks for bringing up John, David. Great memories.
Dave.. growing up in NY state, and being from Owego (Shangri La speedway, where I at 9 years old saw Lee Petty race), I became an oval track fan while being a Drag Racer..... No one had to explain "Motor Sports" to me.. Watkins Glen was 35 miles away..dirt andasphalttracks everywhere, and Drag Racing ..... Johnny Jackson was a pretty good drag racer in his early days...Then J&J years ! ,,Johnny had a very successful trucking business ( as Y'all know, you had (have) to to support a Race Operation. Norm Foster was a few miles away(another giant in central NY).......John Jackson..smack dab in the middle of the best potato country anywhere...(That was my Dad's business,BTW)
I saw Paul Jackson, (Johnny's brother), a few years ago.... Johnny had some health issues... Merv Treichler did a hell of a good job in John's cars...... ( Paul, with help from younger brother John, built the drag strip in South Butler,NY (savannah).... I knew them well.
I am proud of Brett Bodine's time in Howard Thomas' 00 car...
Brett did well.......
