Pit Crew Member for a Day

I know Dale doesn't remember me now, but he and I are the same age and played on the swings together at Hickory Motor Speedway when we were kids. His dad was racing and my dad was a spectator. I have been a fan of his from the beginning. The highlight of my "fanship" came when I entered a contest and won. I got to be on Dale's pit crew for one race. They were so nice. The crew let me help push the car, gave me a hat and shirt and fed me. That was the best!!! I wish him the best!
