A Rat Race in Opp

Literally... this poor rat found his way over to the cars. All of the guys kept chasing him out and underneath another one he would go. He was so scared, but they finally got him back into the field.Augie's new car.

We love you Eva!

Congratulation Augie winner of the Alabama 200!!



This race was sponsored by some lawn company, so they had Augie pose on this "grasshopper" thing he felt like a dork. Some guy behind me said "hey this might be an endorsement deal here" (you have to say it in a redneck voice)







Owen had a blast playing in daddy's car. Everyone kept asking "are going to drive for Augie", and "this must be the next generation." They tried to interview him during driver introductions but, Owen wouldn't speak in the microphone.
This is Ronnie Sanders he has been a longtime friend and fellow racer. This was his last race. He is going to step aside and let his grandson Billy take the wheel of the #18.

All of the guys were so good with Owen they let him do anything and everything to those cars; and never once complained he was in the way.

He was coloring during qualifying, but it looked like he was writing down the times.
Thanks for the ride Billy!

He made as many laps on his 4wheeler as Augie did on the track.

Wow, Augie's new car looks great and it seems Owen has a wonderful time down at the track.
My favorite pic pick has to be speed monkey (look what monkey can do!). Silly monkey, where's your helmet?

I love the picture with the rag in his back pocket...Looks like you have a future racecar driver on your hands. I'm sure that makes daddy happy. Hope all is well.
