About

Jim has been watching NASCAR since about 1971, and has been an active fan since around 1979, the year that Dale Earnhardt won Rookie of the Year. Jim began writing and blogging about racing in 2004. Jim attends as many races as he can, but not nearly enough to suit him. When asked how many races he would like to see in person, Jim's answer is "All of 'em."

    Thought I would give The Relay for Life one more push before our big event Saturday. This one is a more in-depth look into the story of Dave Dravecky. Also posted a link for the Josiah Herring Funeral Fund!
