Richmond race.. that is on my birthday today.

Been there a number of times around my birthday.

Funny interview I saw of Dale Earnhardt Jr where he said in September 2008 Richmond race that he meant to put the 18 car with Kyle Busch into the wall going into turn 1... I was right there at the bottom of the turn one at the handicap level with my good friend Tony... Tony has CP and used a wheelchair. And when Dale Jr wrecked Kyle into the wall..... That whole place of 110,000 people... Erupted into cheers... It was incredible !

What an experience. . .

I saw the race on TV and the commentators tried to day Dale Jr did not get into Kyle on purpose.... But that interview I saw the other day confirmed what I thought really had happened.

Remember... Kyle and Dale got together in that years Richmond spring race in turn 3 and 4... And Clint Bowyer went on to win that race.
