Still get emotional thinking about this past week, and what it meant to me to be able to wheel the GoldEagle 7TW @knoxvilleraces!
Thank you @TEAMDGRD and all of our sponsors that made this happen! We made memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life!

I will never understand why everyone wants to bash tracks, teams, organizations in sprint car racing.... be thankful we have so many options and get to choose where we race every weekend!! If you want to travel do so! If you want to stay on the porch do so!! Merry Christmas!! 🏁

We need more 1/4 mile bullrings and less 1/2 miles @WorldofOutlaws !! Love @jaxspeedway !! Make big motors less of a factor and put more on the driver!

Proud of this team and what we did this week! We roll into the pits on an open trailer and beat some really good @ASCoC teams! @JohnShewbrooks does his best to give us a good car! Results don’t show but we made dash 2 of 3 nights! Bunch of guys that have fun and want to win!

First off please don’t bash @AtomicSpeedway !! They are one of the very few trying to improve safety at there track!! Atomic is one of my favorite tracks to race at! Instead of bashing anyone let’s support a place that is trying to improve instead of do nothing!!

Finally didn’t finish 2nd at @AtomicSpeedway !! 🏁 man it feels good to win!!
As it unfolded Live on TheCushion.com it got probably a little too exciting for eventual winner @BrandonWimmer as lap traffic became a factor with 2 laps to go @AtomicSpeedway with @coleduncan22 closing fast.

Yes that is a brand new never used wing from the late 80’s/ early 90’s.... why we kept it all these years I don’t know!! BUT I’m glad I have it at my house now!! I also think 1986 @ASCoC champions!! #familyhistory

One of the few things out here I don’t like seeing... the crowds in the pits after the races are getting smaller and smaller!! We need the races to get done early enough that the kids can come down to the pit after the races!!

Do you know how disappointing it is to actually get QuickTime and not hear Johnny yell it because you’re the first car out… 😂🏁 @WorldofOutlaws

Feels good to get @TEAMDGRD that first win! 🏁
@BrandonWimmer and @TEAMDGRD put it in victory lane tonight at East Moline Speedway in the Sprint Invaders series!
What a blast of a track and crowd, my goodness. Truly deserves an Outlaw or High Limit show.

We call this truck George. My wife jokes that I call it an investment! George Pears was the original owner and I am now the 4 overall owner since it was manufactured in 1947! Knowing the complete history of it in North Central Indiana makes it special to me!

I’m so old I raced the big 1/2 mile in Fargo! There was nothing like the big 3 day weekends in Fargo! Place would be packed every night… And the Holiday Inn parking lot parties were fun! 😬🏁
“Big party tonight” 🙌
Nothing compares to winning at home, and the emotion for the Schatz family was off the charts when @DonnySchatz got a #WoOSprint victory at @RRVSpeedway in 2002!
The North Dakota native returns to Red River on Saturday!

This is why you never give up! 2020 has been a struggle for our race team till now!! Thank you @JohnShewbrooks for giving us great equipment! And Scott, Roger, Trevor, and Andy for all the hard work! 🏁🇺🇸
They should nickname @BrandonWimmer “The Surgeon” because he was slicing his way through lapped traffic with precision!
He picks up the @OVSCA feature win tonight @35racewaypark
Impressive 22 cars started and 20 finished the race. 👍

Sad to see true car owners disappearing! In 2007 I drove for @RothMotorsports . Had a off weekend so flew to Ohio to drive for Rick Ferkel! Kenny Jacob’s told me I reminded him of Ferkel and himself… I would show up all over the country for big shows! Best complement ever!
