My Master Degree...
If my major in college was Public Relations and my minor was in Folklore, then this is testament that my masters is in stock car racing... with each track being a class- a case study of each aspect of how the sport works... I present my Masters Listing... all the tracks I've visited since going to my first race 36 years ago...
Note: On Mother's Day, some 36 years ago... this degree began with not one- but two races! My first racing day began with going to Ellis Raceway near Henderson, Kentucky, where Darrell Waltrip's career started, and ended that night at what will always be considered my home track, since it's where my heart truly started beating at the age of 22 months old... Windy Hollow Speedway outside of Owensboro, Kentucky.
