All the tears were shed in celebration of the life of a great young man!!! It was tough to watch, but the results could not have been much better...
RIP...Eric

Mr. Pratt, you are not alone sir. Between Sat. & Sun. coverage I thought I was watching a "chick flick" instead of a race. Anyone with a heart could not help being moved by the love & respect these folks have for each other.

In Some forms of auto racing, they get out and through their helmet at the other car.....
In drag racing they congratulate the person that just beat them.....
I prefer the latter.

I agree with the "chick flick" comment, even had my wife in tears and she said, she "doesn't even know the guy". I don't think anyone has overlooked the significance of this tragedy and it has spread sorrow on everyone. John Medlen looks to be the strongest of all and stands as an inspiration to everyone..........Perry Jr.
