So...when I was racing I would call my dad every Sunday night to talk about the race. Even when I don’t race, we would recap the race, today I called my 87 yr old dad, talked about the race on that he watched, he approved, thanks to everyone for making today 👍🏻

My heart was saddened when I heard the news last night about JD Gibbs passing away. I can’t emphasize enough about what a positive impact JD was on my life. Prayers to all of the Gibbs family. 🙏🏻

Our @NASCARonFOX colleague, @Bobby_Labonte is not only one of the greatest racers in the sport, but one of the best people. This story of his personal health battle is so moving. I’m so grateful our friend is okay. ❤️ Great work to producer @LaurenADowney with this story

Bob Jenkins' voice was synonymous with my childhood. From hearing him call races weekly, to hearing him announcing on my @NASCAR video games daily, I heard his voice constantly. His call of my childhood hero @Bobby_Labonte winning Indy has always stayed with me. RIP Bob 🏁 twitter.com/By_NathanBrown…

Going way back this Thursday to 1980 @amsupdates Finished 4th that day, first time there (16years old) front springs had to be out of a Amtrak and rear had leaf springs 👍🏻 Is that Morgan Shepard in the background in front of the only porta potty 🤔.

Well, I snuck out a few times, one time with a Dale Sr shirt, but I had a cooler and old radio headphones. Went straight out the front grandstands😂

Replying to @DirtyMoMedia @DaleJr and 2 others
The story of Junior once disguising himself as a @Bobby_Labonte fan so he could slip out of @MartinsvilleSwy undetected is easily my favorite in #DJD history. Good stuff. Keep it coming.

Found this last night, Caraway Speedway, 1982, I was 18 years old racing a late model sportsman (1 race)😂 Jay Hedgecock built the car and raced it later that year as well. Good times...spent all the money I had=didn’t give up! Cool looking though👊🏻
