That's my birthday, nice to have a party.
Hmmm b-day, start of racing for the year (well one style of racing) I'll have to go look up NHRA stuff.

Hailie Deegan made her debut at Daytona on Friday in the Michelin Pilot Challenge support race for the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona driving the Multimatic Motorsports Inc. Ford Mustang in IMSA's GT4 class as part of her Ford driver development program. Due to mechanical issues they finished 43 out of 51 cars after three hours into the four hour race on the Daytona road course.

The first day of Hailie Deegan’s foray into sports car racing was one with mixed results.

Deegan and teammate, NASCAR Xfinity driver Chase Briscoe, finished 43rd of 51 teams that were entered in Friday’s Michelin Pilot Challenge at Daytona International Speedway.

Deegan ran as high as 15th before the car experienced mechanical issues roughly three hours into the four-hour event, and it was brought in to be worked on for the remaining time.

Deegan and Briscoe were in the No. 22 Multimatic Motorsports Inc. Ford GT4, which ran a total of 86 laps. One other NASCAR driver, Xfinity pilot Austin Cindric, was teamed with Seb Priaulx in the No. 15 Multimatic Motorsports Inc. Ford Mustang GT4, and together they finished 45th, completing 78 laps.

our daughter works for Apex Tools in their large office complex and distribution center located in Apex, NC .... they own/manufacture 30 different major lines of tools ... Gear Wrench is one of their lines and sponsors Kurt Busch's #1 Camaro NASCAR Cup team .... she just called and said that they cleared their really large parking lot and Kurt, along with a good portion of his crew, spent the day visiting with their employees ..... he gave rides to all who wanted one .... she said she didn't go for a ride, the looks on the faces of most of her coworkers when they got out of Kurt's car convinced her that she needed to just watch .... she did spend some time talking with Kurt and said he seemed to be a good person

Harvick, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, said his new deal with SHR lasts through the 2023 season.
