They could do a story on the whole family. His mom was a factory Mopar racer back in the day. She also won many national events in her life, as well as her husband. Nitro hisself has done much better than many of us on this site. Joe can tell some real stories af his family and himself. Well deserved.

Thanks guys, I'm just a small fish in the big pond, and I'm trying to make it all work for the sportsman racers by having stats and doing racing events.
But thanks to Bobby for a nice story, strange how it all went down, i was sitting in the back of the lanes waiting for the call for SC round one at Indy since we couldnt hear very good where we was park and I was going to call my father on the phone when they told me it was time, Bobby Bennett came over and wanted to do an interview, we sat and talked for a bit right there. Big thing is Bobby is a Modified Eliminator nut just like me so we had all kinds of stories to talk about. Be ready this winter we are working on trying to attain old modified runs from 70 to 81 and put them into some great stats.

No, it's EVERYTHING. What you're doing is a huge part of sportsman racing. You "get" it -- and it's not specifically about statistics. Those who figure it out and how it relates to the big picture will reap big rewards.

Amen Mike! What would we do without Joe's stats! He and his family have such a rich history. Thanks again Joe! Jim
