About S M »

Wooooooooooooooooo, Hornaday does it, wins his fourth championship and just awesome to see.

"We spend so much time sweating the small things, rather than seeing the big picture and anything is attainable when you see the whole picture."

Wooooo Hoooo way to go Brian, it's going to be exciting watching you race for Braun Racing!

Thank You and God Bless Fort Hood Police SGT. Kimberly Munley, for putting yourself in the line of fire and saving lives. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I'm a avid auto racing fan, but only like the NCWTS in NASCAR, it's my favorite series these days and the series reminds me of old school NASCAR. I'm talking NASCAR 20+ years ago, like the mix of the young talent, with the wily veterans, the small teams and they put on the best show of the three top series.

I'm the community leader of the NCWTS page, write anything and everything about the truck series. Some of my articles have made zimbio.com, catchfence.com, jayski.com, ASK.com on various driver pages in all three series, dalyplanet.com, my tribute to the late Ron Hornaday Sr is posted on ronhornaday.com in his In Memory section, have a Austin Dillon article featured on teamdillonracing.com and had Joan Ren the wife of Rick Ren comment on my article about her husband.

But what I'm most proud about is that Brian Scott, one of the CWTS drivers, joined B/R to comment on a article I wrote about him and is a member of the truck community.

Truck Series: Horn and Brian Scott are my two favorites drivers, along with Happy & the GOAT. I also like Rick Crawford & James Buescher, J.R. Fitzpatrick, Timothy Peters, Chrissy Wallace, Gabi DiCarlo, Caitlin Shaw, Johnny Benson and Rowdy.

Nationwide: Happy & KHI, Kelly Bires, Michael Annett, the Speeddemon & Justin Allgaier.

I also follow Austin Dillon, T-Mac, Bobby Labonte Racing in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, the Camping World East Series, NHRA, Indy Series, F1 and Monster Trucks to follow the legendary Grave Digger.

I'm also a Chicago Bears fan, both Charles "Peanut" Tillman & Craig Steltz are my favorites of the current team. While NASCAR is my game on B/R, don't be deceived I really do know my NFL.

Always been a fan of the Under Dogs, can't help it back in 1992, the Underbird made me a believe.

I'm old school, my two other passions are reading Westerns, with a few Mystery/Thriller authors mixed in and listening to Music. Like anything from 80's Metal, to Blues, with a few Country artists mixed in, to Southern Rock , mostly older artists but do like these current artists Gov't Mule, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Shinedown and Black Stone Cherry.

Play a little harmonica, my beverages of choice are Miller High life & Keystone Light (Gotta support the official beer of the Camping World Truck Series.).

All my writing is dedicated to my Dad, miss you Pop.

Hey SM. ANy advice about covering the Truck race would be appreciated. I follow Ron Hornaday sometimes but, to be honest I always forget when most of the Truck races come on T.V.
But I will just kind of hang out for awhile and take notes and some pics. I just want to get my feet wet and see what its like.

Some lucky picks there as many games were a lot closer than I expected. Chicago showed signs of life just too many dropped passes. They'll fix that.

Gary and I were SO glad when NASCAR showed Crafton the black flag. But, he should have been parked - just no excuse.
