Sportsmanship Honors In Texas
March 10 - - Jeff Gordon will receive Texas Motor Speedway's Sportsmanship Award
during the Texas Motorsports Hall of Fame Dinner/Induction Ceremony on Friday, April 16. The event is open to the public
with tickets at $150/person.
Been asked for my opinion of NASCAR's decision regarding Carl Edwards' three-race probation. I'll just say that
NASCAR racing is a lot like high school or the workplace. There are always going to be
people you trust and look forward to being around on the
racetrack as much as you can, and others who you interact with when necessary, but generally steer clear of. Enough said.

the track. Gordon went on to win the race. Hendrick got a firsthand glimpse of the driver's talent and wanted to sign him to a contract. The rest is history.
