Congratulations Del!! He sure was exicited, with good reason. Give him a good car, and he's VERY dangerous!
Met him when he was in his rookie season at Brainerd. I remember him driving a fifth wheel rig, with the spare fiberglass body (named "Screamer") mounted on top. Seemed like a good kid at the time. I've always liked him since. On the TNN show later, they showed him on his BMX bike.
