Watched it last night, used to spend every Saturday night at West Capitol Speedway watching the Super Modified and the sometimes the Sprint cars in the 70's. Still try to get to one or two WOO events a year.

Couple years ago buddy& I went to the Chili Bowl.
Friend of ours who had attended every one was home battling cancer.He asked us to get him a Rico Abreu T-shirt.
We did&then went around the pits trying to get all the drivers to autograph it.
We got to Haudenchild's pit&were greeted by dad Jac who's a legend in sprints.
We told him the story...he's says come on in the trailer.Gives us a Sheldon T-shirt for our friend&writes his ph.# on it.
Says...have your buddy call me&we'll bench race some.
Introduces us to Sheldon who's an amazingly polite&humble kid.He signs both shirts&hangs out listening to racing stories.
Most young guy's would've got back to their IPhones or something.
The Haudenchild family are all a class act.
...good people.
