Tommy and I flew down to Orlando to the 2007 National Mustang Racer Association's Award Ceremony for him to accept his award as NMRA's Factory Stock Champion. I think this is the first time I've had Tommy in a suit since our vacation to the Homestead. It was also the first time that I've seen him nervous in a long time. This would be his first speech in front of a very large audience. And, although he unexpectedly won Rookie of the Year as well, he did a great job on both speeches. It's a huge accomplishment to win both in the same year.
He thinks I don't know what I started, but I have a better idea than what he thinks -- as if he hasn't raced for the last seven years that we've been together. I'm glad I could be there to experience this accomplishment with him. I know how important this is to him and I'm excited to see him chasing his dream.
Here's to a new race season, which starts in just three short months.
