I have to give a plug to one of my crew guys, Gary Pritchett. He’s my young buddy who just turned 21. He was racing in Bunny Burkett’s Top Alcohol Funny Car last weekend in a match race in Waynesboro, Va., and won the event, so congrats Gary! He’s a great young kid, and we’re really excited for him. He’s one win up on me this year.
