We Interrupt This Series Of Blogs To Bring You An Important Update!


Yesterday, May 26, 2010, My son and I traveled to Indianapolis to meet the one and only DANICA PATRICK. We each got one autograph. It was an all day affair, but it was well worth it.

With various people helping me entertain my son to pass the time, we got what we were after (Thanks, Elaine!).

She is really cool, and I am glad that I made the trip.

Jeff Gordon at the NHOF


After Jimmie Johnson had went along and signed just about everything put in front of him, several other drivers went along Glory Road. One of which was the driver of the DuPont Chevrolet, Jeff Gordon.

My family had our picture taken with Jeff last summer, and I brought the 8x10 with me to see if I could get it signed. Jeff smiled as he signed it, and continued on his way. A moment for him, a cherished memory for me.

The Drought is Over! - My Family at the Nascar Hall of Fame!


My family attended the Nascar Hall Of Fame (NHOF) Induction ceremony this past weekend. What a haven for autographs! It had been a while since I had received any autographs in person, and when the drought ended, a flood came.

I will take it slow. There will be four blogs over the next few days.

It all started simply enough. We got to the NHOF about ten o'clock a.m. on Saturday. We got our admission tickets, and lined up against Glory Road. I had brought a few photos just in case the big names decided to sign. Lo and Behold, Jimmie Johnson, one of NASCAR's biggest names and the reigning Champion, was the first celebrity to walk Glory road. He signed autographs for just about everyone that asked. He had to do an interview, so after that, he stood and signed for quite a while.

This was the first of many autographs I got that day. Thanks, Jimmie.
