Most memorable NASCAR moment(s):

1979 Daytona 500 Allison’s vs Yarbrough fight and the cake commercial NASCAR still runs that uses that infield sceen. Jimmie winning his 3rd LVMS in a row and being there for each one. Having Back To Back embroidered on my Championship jacket. Watching Dale Sr. & Jr. racing side by side. Of course that Black Day for the #3. Jr. and his new # coming over to Hendrick…finally!!! “Just hope turning 49 this year doesn’t jinx our boy from a 3rd straight??”

Marital status:

In a relationship

Profile:

Native Californian, avid biker, great sense of humor and have followed Jimmie as a die hard fan since 2001. Have great LVMS seats – (4) top row, Section 303, Earnhart Terrace, Turn 4. Been attending that race every year since 2004. My best friends, Paul & Ginger moved to Vegas that year. They sit next to us as well, so we pretty much own 25% of the top row.

Paul’s a clown and thinks he’s the honorary LVMS Mayor. Since he sits at rows end, he gives everybody going up & down the stairs as well as those on the catwalk a really hard time. We’re all pretty well known by many returning fans as the place to stop by and have a cocktail. You can’t miss the 24, 48, 88 and Stars & Stripes flags hanging from the rail, so stop by and say “Hi” we’ll buy you a shot!

All 6 of us attend PIR “Hillside” whenever we can and are planning a return trip in October ‘09. If you’ve never been to PIR Hillside, we recommend it, best seats at the track for only $35. Hope to make it to the Daytona 500 along with Bristol someday in my life but Bristol could be tough unless someone in the community can help or a season ticket holder dies. BTY…Bristol needs to be a Chase race, so let your voices be heard to NASCAR now. Been to Cali regularly for both races but Vegas definately deserves a 2nd race over Fontana with what Bruton Smith has done to that place. I highly recommend it to the fans, both new & old.

Have a beautiful woman and 3 wonderful kids 18, 15 & 13 who enjoy racing as well. So, until Vegas my friends…”See you in March and God Bless All of the NASCAR Nation.”

Dicast car collection of Dale Jr. for my son Wes. He’s up to 8 pretty rare ones now. Will be cool to add some Hendrick cars as time goes on. Love my daily happy hour winding down from working on computers all day. Life is good, especially when fast cars & bikes are involved!!
