September 21st
Man this day is really tough.
September 21st, 2020. This was the day my grandfather Steve Eatherly passed away. It’s been rough since but I know he’s watching over me. I know he would be proud with all I have accomplished.
September 21st, 2024. Double Header at Highland Rim. I dedicated this night to Pop. He truly was my biggest inspiration with racing. The first feature, I had a major wreck. Yes it really sucked but I did not stop there. No matter how much I was hurt physically and mentally I pushed through. I finished that feature and the next. I wanted to make Pop proud of me. I know he is no matter what though. After that night I really struggled to get in the right headspace. I would not have don’t it without the most amazing team by my side. I would like to thank Tristan Thrasher, Donna Thrasher, Mike Curran, and everyone with . They not only helped me get my car ready to go race but they helped me find the right headspace. I would like to especially thank not only my teammates, not only my best friends, but my brothers and for always being there for me no matter what I was going through. You guys truly mean the world to me. I’m not done yet. I would not be able to do any of this without my dad Josh Eatherly. Everyone is truly blessed to have you in their life. I’m the luckiest one because I get to call you my Dad and my best friend. I would also like to thank my family. My mom, Theresa, brother and sister, Jackson and Kayla, Grandmother, Darcy and the rest of my family. I would also like thank Dan Ford for all that he does. He is also a HUGE inspiration of mine. He was Pops best friend so he means a lot to me. He helped me get started and he makes sure to show up and be present whenever he can.
Thank you everyone.
And with that, I would like to change my number to 21. This number resembles the day I show my strength and can get through anything.
