Nice gesture @ NSS
While at NSS last night, I observed the autograph session. I personally didn't go on the track but instead just observed. As i was watching I noticed this young man, (kid) whatever, I'm a terrible guess at age but I'll guess around 11-12 something like that. He and lots of other people were walking around chatting with the drivers, sitting in the cars etc.
This one kid asked Robert Deal, a nice looking red and yellow mod, if he could sign the car! Maybe this happens all the time, its the first time I noticed a kid signing a car instead of asking for an autograph. Robert yelled at his friends, "I'M getting HIS autograph"!! Not a big deal , no pun intended, i guess but it was to that kid. I can hear that kid now, everytime he sees that car saying"My name is on that car".!! I have never met Robert but again it was a nice gesture. ALSO, this will shock most of you that I say this but give the devil his due. I watched Boneman give an old trophy to, I believe the same kid. That kid was in second heaven, he will never forget that night. Sometimes we forget how BIG some LITTLE things are to these kids. Maybe I should of stood behind my buddy Boneys idea to give away some of his old trophies to the kids. I think its a good idea now, not sure about taking an hr out of the schedule but maybe instead of an autograph session. Not much of a fan of Halloween costume contests, bean eating contests at a race track, but giving something related to racing to the kids, I'm for it. Under differant circumstances thats the kind of thing I could get involved in.
Again, nice gesture guys, I will always be a fan of Robert Deal, not ready to go that far with Boney yet but who knows? but I guess he's not QUITE as bad as I thought before!!!
