    Adam Petty was a special one...same can be said for his brother @AustinPetty45 .I'm thankful he and I could sit down this past year to tell Adam stories. It was a mixed emotions day..sadness turned to happiness reliving moments. Thankful to call both pals. video.foxsports.com/partners/img/f…

    23 years ago. Right about now. This special quiet moment happened before our interview in the pre-race show. There was no one like him before...no one like after....never will be.

    Cool little back story. When done talking, Chad looked at me and said, hey can we delete that fucking part out? I said Chad it was live. He said oh shit. A couple days later, Chad told me when he was sitting in a HMS leadership executives office getting reamed for saying
    Something that gets forgotten is that Jimmie Johnson had a very real chance of winning the Cup title as a rookie in 2002. Chad Knaus *explicitly* said that was the goal after sweeping Dover. "Who says the 48 team's too young to win a championship!? We're fucking going for it!"

    Two great looking young ladies... that other guy... eh still doesn't have a neck but looks pretty darn good considering. Good to see him up and about, and ready to do some hay bailing before you know it.

    Will forever be a sad day. In about three hours - 22 years ago - this moment which was one of hundreds through the years w Big E was the final one.

    A Mom and Grandma are like a shooting star. Brighter, larger than life, more colorful, like confetti in a way...special and one of a kind. When it fades there's a huge hole and void that’ll never be filled. Mary Yocum (aka Mom and Emme) 9/16/1942 - 9/4/2021

    I'd say Newman is the modern day Cale Yarborough.... I'd check the closet and leave a light on in the bathroom too.

    Cale walked in cowboy boots like a gun fighter that never lost, pet bear, bitten by rattle snake, parachuted 200+, emergency landed plane on muddy road in storm rescued by James Garner/Smothers, snapped power line w/ ultra lite. Add HOF racing. Classy. Mans man. RIP Great One.

    This was a special memory ‘01. But the favorite intv was for RPM2Night and Sportscenter. After winning his final race... Talladega 2000. As I turned toward the camera after his last answer he messed up my hair in good fun. Great memory w The Big E. Happy Birthday wheelman.
