We have a lot of fun at the track. As I have mentioned many times, people on our team go on and off diets throughout the year, including myself. Roy Simons (The Crew Chief) happens to be one who watches his carbohydrates. It was Roy’s birthday when we were in Atlanta. I wanted to make him something special, but I knew that I had better stay away from the desserts. There are some lo-crab desserts, but I know the way to Roy’s heart. So, I made him a Roast Beef Salad for his birthday cake. Roy loved the idea.

Roy- You are a great guy! I hope that you had a Happy Birthday, and I hope that you and Cheri have a great year together.

(And you know I may be older than you, but I will always look younger!)

Love ya!
