Today is Adam’s birthday. It’s hard every year but for some reason, it’s just a little harder this year than it’s been in the past. But that lets my heart know I love him so much. I miss him every day.

My heart is sad today. Cale was a part of so many of my childhood memories. I watched him race my dad and all the greats and I was blessed to race against him. Cale was a great man. I’ll always remember him sawing the wheel fighting for the win. My prayers go out to his family.

Today my uncle passed away. He was the last uncle I had. I don’t know of anyone that fought harder and overcame more in life to succeed the way he succeeded. The world was a better place because of him and there is now an empty place that will never be filled again.

Thanks to all of you for your kind words yesterday. It was so emotional to stand beside Adam’s car and be with his crew. Those guys were just kids too when his accident happened. They came from all over to be there. Thank you @BubbaWallace for brining his car to life again.

I’m not arguing tonight because I don’t feel like dealing with some of you honestly. 1st there is no rule against blocking and manufacturers have been working together for years! (See Daytona and Talladega) 2nd wall ride is against the rules, that’s a fact. Conversation over….
