I pulled Matt & Rick from school & we were @ Daytona Speedweeks the first 14 years of their life.

Daytona during the day & Volusia dirt track @ night. One year we attended 13 races in 10 days.

Sandy made a Jeff Gordon quilt for Matt one Christmas.

Wesley asked one day - Can I sleep in the race car bed?

I asked why & his reply was something like .. I will sleep faster because the bed has checked flag sheets.

Makes perfect sense to me & I like the way he thinks.

Fast forward to 2025 Berger Show. Wes got a ride in a 9 second COPO Drag Car
