I want to be the first to congratulate my Dad, the 2007 Late Model champ. All he has to do is roll onto the track this week. He amazes me more and more every week of every year. 56 years old, and still in my eyes, the best driver at Riverhead Raceway. 11 top 5's, three wins and a 12th in that race he was winning when his wires burnt up with 12 to go while leading, and it was a double point night. I know there were low car counts, but to be that consistant everyweek is amazing. I mean, of those 11 top 5's, 9 of them top 3's. I remember when my Dad won his 3rd Charger championship in a row, people were saying if he is so good, then why doesn't he move up and go Late Model racing. Well we did. Won rookie of the year last year, fouth in points, most top 5's. Unlucky break on another double point night last year, or we could be looking at 2 in a row. I would like to thank the 'Hurricane' for making this all happen. Without Doug, there would be no championship. It really was a team effort from Uncle Ray, John, Roger, Buddy, Matt, Mark, 'Hornet', Kevin, Dave, Larry, Lori, Mom, Heather, Steve T, Candy, Bruce, Poppa O and myself. I hope everyone on this Turbush/Wholey team is proud of what we have accomplished. Enjoy the party this week. 81
