[Ronnie Hamlin]

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this race as I will not be back from Las Vegas until Sunday morning. I would like to thank Scott Tilley and Tabitha Draughon for their efforts in putting this program together. I would also like to thank my old friend Danny Stanton for his contribution to the purse. I really appreciate all of the positive comments I have received from my racing family but it isn't about me....It's about remembering a good friend that left us too soon. Good luck to all of you in the shootout and Thank You to all that have participated.
