Up stff but everybody that run that or tried to run it knows that a lot and it takes a lot of money and a lot of effort a lot of time and when you get up in years world then kind something a little bit easier and uh this 420 thing
Joy’s right I am very passionate about it and I’ve been trying to do it for a few years now in all honesty I’ve been disappointed in the car account so forth but I’ve met some really great people and I’ve gotten a huge education on what
It’s like to start a class and try to get sponsors and try to get cars try to the RAC track make enough money on your CL U Jeff Hollow who has a lot of experience in that area told it’s Take Years go well he was right you the recycl this
Year though I’m excited to say I’ve got 20 something people that are very excited about running this class I’ve got at least 10 or 12 people that are so confident about it they’re willing to pay three races up front and make sure that they’re guaranteed to be there and
Stuff I’m L to have that thankful to have it all to get the support we haven’t try sponsor wise that’s another educating thing and last year we had Eminem Transmissions fuel TCH Champion Auto lifts and SC and each one of them sponsored race last year this year we’re

White and now it’s time for a man who I’m sure will be just really quick on the microphone doesn’t like to talk all that much very shy personality ladies and gentlemen your 2023 Midwest gra racing series pro modified champion [Applause] p You E [Applause] good job not screwing that that’s what he said first of all I want to thank the most fierce competitor that I had this year was the jna service Stephen you absolutely had me on my toes from the time we started until the time we stopped I was more impressed about the
Professionalism that you show to me and really to everyone and the fight against you was probably the most exciting that I’ve had Dr and I’ll say it because I never have won something this caliber against the competition from Ed to to I can name TI all of them just the level of
Competition for this Championship was something that I I I’m always going to cherish for the rest of my life I never be one like this one I’ve won one in this series but not at this Level D Pi said I couldn’t do it with a nitrous scar he did say that and we
Did I don’t want I’m not going to keep everybody for a long time I just want to start off by saying we didn’t win a championship because of me obviously you can tell that last screaming we won it at the shop we didn’t win it at the drag store
We won it at the shop and the guys that put forth the effort Dale that’s been with me 12 years Bobby that’s been with me three years Steve Cooks has been with me I think he said three years four years five years what Shane been with me I think eight years
Or years now long time that these guys have been with me and the time they take away from their family and the time that they come over and prepare the carard so that I could not screw it up as D would say but I’m not going to say what it really says
But um I did that I can assure you that but my wife I love you and thank you for for supporting me being in front of me it’s a great feeling to see you in front of the car even though you give me the hardest time probably as everybody’s anyone probably worse than
Dell and when you get at the end of the racetrack you should tell you Su I I just can’t thank these guys I’d like for them to come up I know y’all are not used to this kind of stuff but I would like every one of you

Schwizer is he is a legend in my in my opinion at nitrous is the fastest guy in the world I couldn’t pay the show I did something special this year um because I did win against the competition that set in front of me and couldn’t make a lot of
Racers want to show their sponsor support and by spending money with them and and then spending money with you so for 2000 because this Championship is so important to me I got every single one of my sponsors a championship Tru and that’s I couldn’t do it without them Summit Racing Equipment which has
