Then we left for the Phoenix International Speedway for the next weekend NASCAR race! Jimmy's aunt Margaret is involved with CASA....a national court appointed advocate group for children. They get celebrities to autograph Ostrich Eggs and then auction them off for money for CASA. We got several of them...Kasey Khane, Scott Riggs, Reed Sorenson, Kerry Earnhardt and even Mike Helton ( the head of NASCAR) to sign, in Texas. Then we took them to Phoenix with us and got a couple of more signatures.
Kurt Busch, the 2004 NASCAR Cup Champion, signed them and then, we got "THE KING" Richard Petty and his wife Lynda Petty to sign them. He had come to our Marathon Coach Rally to see about buying one of their new $1.8 million dollar coaches! He also seemed interested in our little Road Hog!
Once again, my driver just missed out on winning the race. DRAT!
