DJ Fans Forever

We have been great DJ fans..since 1997...We were never able to afford to have the pleasure to attend a race.

My husband was stricken with lung cancer in Feb 06...He has endured two major surgeries,months of chemotherapy and as of this date is still taking chemo treatments..You see he has an 86% chance of this cancer returning with a venegance within two years...I wanted with all my heart to have Will meet his favorite Nascar driver.

I write Miss Blair (Phillips) on several occasions. She was always understanding and showed genuine sympathy. But she and Miss Penny Copen made a dream come true.

In March 2008 we attended Atlanta Motor Speedway for the entire weekend..only with the help of my family could we have ever pulled off such a trip financially...Mr Jarrett took time to have us brought to his motorhome..Talked with my husband, took pictures, signed autographs and even gave him a hat that he cherishes to this day.

We have such wonderful memories of that weekend and had it not been made possible with Mr Jarrett, Miss Blair, and Miss Penny it would have never happened.

There wll never be another driver to compare to Dale. I wll be forever indebted in my heart for ya'll to make that dream come true for him. I only wish now that we would actually see him in his last race!!!! But not financially possible now..

Thanks for the years of wonderful memories and what a joy to meet the man that is the same person on TV racing as in person..Wonderful!!!! Again, we will truly miss you in that car, May God Bless you and your wonderful family...DJ fans forever....
