Friends,
Five years ago tonight, the lives of every one of our family members changed drastically and dramatically when our father and husband, Dave Walker, fell ill with what we thought would be a stroke. Later in the week we would find out his diagnosis, unfortunately was an incurable brain...
This is not meant to be partisan in any way.
I am incredibly proud to be part of a country that allows any person, regardless of race, to be its leader.
Tonight is an important American night.

For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this letter. The difficulty in it comes when I try to figure out where to start. One line leads down a path and ultimately I would realize there is no way to convey the point completely.

I'm not certain how this hasn't made this to the board as of yet, but here they are.

Any other predictions?

For me this is the beggest move by a NASCAR driver in a long time. I sincerely thought he would take the offer to own the majority of DEI.
Since he's taking the three biggest things about DEI with him...
Like many others on this board, I unfortunately never got the opportunity to meet Jeff Mills. But every other race fan loves the sport for several reasons. I'm sure one of Jeff's reasons was the love of the people involved.
As a tribute to Jeff, how about we tell some our favorite stories...
I feel wierd writing this as I don't want people to think our family is out to get sympathy money, but since I have an account on this forum, I was asked (by the people in charge of the auction) to tell everybody that there is an auction to benefit my dad (Dave Walker) at the First Presbyterian...
