One year ago today I went to @MeansRacing52 to film the shop video with Jimmy. When I walked in he was on the ground welding under a chassis. He stood up and said “I never shake a man’s hand sitting down” and that stuck with me. My dad never told me that. Both my grandfathers were gone before I was 12. The videos are great.. but the little things like this that come with making them are priceless. I appreciate anything to be learned from this generation and take it upon myself to keep those things alive. Even if I am only one person. Everything starts with one person.

@CostaKapo @ElwoodBlues614 Some evidence remains in Oil City PA. This was the site of the original refinery started in the 1800s

@CostaKapo That’s gonna be awesome

I remember watching this show when it came out on a super tiny tube TV in the back of my dad’s motorhome. There should be something like this in present day.

Who remembers NASCAR Drivers: 360?

Here was the first advertisement that FX and NASCAR ran promoting the show in the off-season of 2003-04 featuring @Kenny_Wallace and @jeremymayfield_

He had said in interviews before that Ricky was his guy he related to and it was tougher for him in the Hendrick organization without Ricky as his point of contact. Which makes the whole thing in a Hendrick sponsored truck with Ricky’s paint scheme even more crazy. What are the odds.

[Mitchell Stapleton @stapleton42_]

Kyle’s last win coming in the 7 truck for Spire is crazy. Spire ran out of Kulwicki’s former race shop before they bought KBM and moved everything there.

[Landon Huffman @LandonHuffman]

The KFB bow is as deserving of an honorary celebration as the Kulwicki victory lap.

I hope every winner in Charlotte this weekend serves an honorary bow.

@bradxperez Sometimes music with no words is ideal. It lets all 5 of my brain cells focus on the task at hand and not be comprehending sentences 😂

@sfahed56 @markmartin Watch the video Steve it’s interesting

@markmartin Newell Compound Turbo build/dyno video filmed last week just went live. Even if you don’t know or care about mechanical stuff this is an extremely entertaining video 😂

@beckyk21k @GrahamHilll @nascarman_rr The video we did was with a Penske prototype car built after the kranefuss Lincoln. It used the Lincoln nose but the rest of it was different combination of Ford body parts.

[FIVE WIDE Sports @FiveWideSports]

Really awesome @stapleton42_ video with @StenhouseJr and @mikekelley at the old @RFKracing shop. Hearing about Ricky’s come-up and even a cool story about him cutting up @Elliott_Sadler ‘s 2010 Pocono crash car. Highly recommend.

140231. No idea how I remember that because I hadn’t used a school lunch since 6th grade probably. Always brought my own. But I can’t remember what I was doing 5 minutes ago.

[Nostalgia @NostalgiaFolder]

Who still remembers their school lunch number? 😭
