POSTED 5-4-10 STANDING STRONG!

The great American flag shown here.
Yesterday I made a couple trips to Beech Bend.  My last trip, my daughter, Tammy was with me.  We were standing as near as we could stand to turn one and two.  Tammy said to me so sadly, Dad wonder where the American flag is?  I told her I didn't know because the flag pole was not showing, it was gone!  Today as I got back to Beech Bend, the first thing I saw was this wet, rough looking American flag.  The pole was bent from the waters current.  But the American flag, she was still holding on.  In today's world with all the fighting back and forth with our political leaders, it's refreshing to see that in storms like this, that old glory is still hanging on.  Through it all, as America stands, reminds me that strong people will stand strong too!  We will be back racing at Beech Bend Raceway Park.  The Jones Family are strong folks just like old glory.  Go America! Go Beech Bend Raceway Park!

We need to keep that flag and have a lil ceremony to reraise it on the first night we get back to the oval track.
