@ChasKrall Ernie Irvan and 4.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@TheSceneVault I have four of those, with one still to be read.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@TheSceneVault It’s still one of my favorite books.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@SpeedwayScreens That’s amazing. Anything with the truck has to be super rare.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@MilestonesMotor @hallieimrie @TheSceneVault It was better with the blue numbers than orange.

@TheSceneVault Of all the rides-that-fell-through/didn’t happen stories on the podcast, which one shocked or surprised you the most?

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@LegendsNascar @ItsBristolBaby @ErnieIrvan My best day as a race fan.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@TheSceneVault Ordered mine when they came out and read each one cover to cover.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@TheSceneVault @markmartin Great! Glad to hear it.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@TheSceneVault Praying hard. Chemo is not for the faint of heart!

The other day, my son asked me if I’d heard of Blaise Alexander. I thought, “Of course!” and started to explain. Turns out he was talking about Blaze Alexander of the Orioles. @TheSceneVault

@TheSceneVault Years ago, the local EMS chief was a large man with the nickname of Shamu. Others used the name all the time. I never could. I always used Chief or Brian.

@TheSceneVault I use duplicate cards as bookmarks. This was today’s random pick for a new book. @stevewaid

@Bringatrailer Looks like a gorgeous build.

@hallieimrie It took be about 14 years to convert all my races with a VCR connected to a DVD recorder. I worked in real time to edit the commercials out as needed. There’s probably a better and faster way now.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@hallieimrie @LegendsNascar @PoconoRaceway @KristyLabonte I wound up trading someone for a copy of that race on DVD.

[Fred Petke @FredPetke]

@NASCARClassics I was there that night covering it for the local paper. Pretty amazing upset. I still have his postcards from that race.
