POSTED 12-30-07 SURPRISE COMIMG FROM ODELL AND A UN-NAMED DRIVER

Coming real soon! I have a deal that I am working on along with another driver from Beech Bend and I think you race fans will enjoy it. I can't tell you at this point what it is. I can't tell you the other driver. I can tell you that I and the other driver are very excited about this deal. Just a small hint. It is something that most all you drivers should love and the fans should like. Sorry no more today. I will post more from time to time.

POSTED 12-30-07 DARRELL MILLER AT BEECH BEND IN 1987

Yes it's true!!!! Before there was a BO! There was a Darrell. You didn't think Bo was just gifted or went to Buddy Bakers driver school do you? No, he got his talent from his Dad. Darrell Miller pictured here at Beech Bend Raceway in 1987 and was taken my me. So for you younger race fans, there was another Miller winning his share of races way back then, but not too far back because I was taking his picture and I am still a young man like Darrell. Right Darrell? Ha-Ha.
