I would like to take a minute and thank each, and every one of you. I've met a TON of the fans on this page personally. The greatest being the kids who were brought down after the races for pictures, conversations, and autographs. There's no greater feeling in the world for a racer (short of wins/BIG WINS) than have one of those littles send you a huge smile and a high 5! That always made some of our forgetful nights worth it. For the sponsors: State Farm Kahoka, Clark County Auto, Sonic Keokuk/Burlington, Melissa, Shannon, Liz, Callie, Mom, Andrew, Tj and Tenny, the other Tj (lol) Bob Dale, Uncle Dale, The Breakroom Bar and Grill (Frank and Pam you guys will always be a huge part of our program! Thank you so so much!!!), my kids, Illini Racing Supply and Hoosier Racing Tire (Springfield). I know there's so many more and with a forgetful memory, I apologize. Of course my crew Dakota(S), Sparky (Matt) Pops n momma (Bill and Jo) Ashton and Ryan (when Ryan was available) Roberts, ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS in which became sponsors or fans hanging out (Yall know who ya are 😉) Darek, Austin when he wasn't busy lol and anyone who ever held a wrench or a light! One day, we may return. As of right now, the straps are cut out of my helmet, literally. My suit will be stowed with the shoes, gloves, and neck brace. That's all she wrote, as I am now retired from racing. IF/when we so chose, it will be in a class where rules are enforced, at a track where they are enforced, and simply for the love and passion. There will be absolutely NO points racing. I've got at LEAST 15 years to go before I'd ever go full time again since that'll be the last year or 2 for my youngest daughter to be ending school. Do the math, I'm 43. Be way to dang old hahahaha
Ending, thank you! All of you! You've made every race worth while for me. Fare-thee-well my FANily.

Thank you again...

I have no rhyme or reason why I've left out the 2 individuals who made this season possible. Scott Bergheger for allowing me to wheel the ride in honor of his son as well as run his number (which was established by the toss of a coin. Very cool I may add 😀). We had some bad ass runs and some bad ass heartbreaks... But you helped bring that smile and joy back. THANK YOU!!! Wish we had better results, yet we still got that top 10!!!
Last and definitely most important, to my strength when I was at my weakest, pushing me with daily life, as well as standing beside me with my last ride. I'd lost my cool so many times without you there. Words can never explain what it, YOU, truly mean to me! Thank you Sam!!! You have my heart...
