Inspirational Father-Son Story about Jim and James Fontana
Story on NHRA.com "The Sports Report" about my father Jim Fontana and his recent ups and downs with cancer.
http://www.nhra.com/blog/the-sports-report/ I want to thank Kevin McKenna for taking the time to write this story about my father and myself. It means a lot to both of us and to our family. Anyone who gets a chance to read this, please check it out. - James Fontana II |

By the way, I was at the summer nationals in 2014. I was leaving to go home and heard the announcer say that you won the final.
A big smile came over my face. I was very happy to hear that you and your dad had won. |

Re: Inspirational Father-Son Story about Jim and James Fonta
Great story! Should be an inspiration for us all. I enjoyed the long phone conversation from your dad ( I believe early 15) about the old 283. He was very helpful and insightful. Racing with family makes memories for a lifetime. Hope your dad continues the good fight and more success on the track.

Great story---Never met either of them the father or the son however they are both WINNERS in my book regardless of their exploits on the track..More people should strive to be like them !!!!. Continued success to them both. FED 387
