I can't believe I was at the track ALL DAY watchin' Gary make passes (as well as runnin' my own car) and yet stupidly left at what was probably just prior to him finally capturing the elusive single digit!

Gary, much congrats to your crew for bringing it all together and making it happen, job very well done.

What are saying, if he doesn't own the car the pass is less impressive or not note worthy? That makes absolutely no sense Jay.




Congrats Gary, stellar driving.
