Okay well look at this, you came back! The last race I went to before this, I caught up with some weekly program feature winners. I wanted to keep that going, so this week I caught up with this past weekend’s preliminary night A-Main winners: Shane Clanton (the Georgia bulldog himself) and Chase Junghans (whose last name literally sounds to me like “young gun”, and he is!).
I didn’t know how this was going to go, because when you’re traveling with the WoO and winning features, I don’t know if you have time for some girl to be facebook messaging you begging for the answers to some questions. But I got lucky.. because racecar drivers are people too. :)

So, spoiler alert, I didn't get married to Chase (surely you would have seen that on Twitter by now) but I do have a sense of accomplishment for keeping up my idea and interviewing winners. And you read this so, technically even though this isn't a game, I think I win. :)
I love you guys. And I can't wait to write to you all again. My TDD sash is packed for Sharon Speedway on July 11th, so cancel your plans-- we're going to the Lou Blaney memorial. :)
