It was David’s first year racing Late Models, and my final full season with the Hobby/CVM class. Both of us won our features, David winning his first in a Late Model, with many more to come, and it was my 2nd feature win of 2004. It was truly an amazing night.

Another tragic loss with a very young lady. Melissa Bullen was the 3rd generation of a stock car racing family. Her grandfather Fred Bullen raced in the 60’s and 70’s, her Dad Phil, and her brother Branden also raced. Melissa was loved by everyone who knew her. She raced Mini Stocks at Sunset Speedway. The […]

You really get to know your beautiful friend when you’re with them 24/7. Buttons is such an amazing pet, so loyal and even when she is sleeping I’m sure she has one eye open to see what I do or where I go. Thanks for visiting our site
