I think Bob Frye does a good job writing these articles. He recently wrote a great article about me, my family and car after I won SST in Columbus. if you get a chance read it. The article was written on October 6 or 7 and now is in the 2010 archive. I'm about unknown as it gets. You can't please everybody!

While I completely understand the desire to see some of the lesser knowns also get coverage, a lot of the others that are now successful and now getting ink, went without any coverage for a long time too. So it is only now that they have earned their way into the ink.

It is kind of a crap shoot in that you have to be the story of the moment , and have a reporter there to see it, and hope he thinks his readers want to hear more about you than the guy pitted next to you.

I am not saying that it is all luck, but timing plays a big part.

And once again, reality shows that life isn't always fair..

But I still stand by my comment about Gracie and Bill being good people deserving of good ink.

I dont see any big sponsors on the Howell cars besides he worked his *** off building a printing business for many years. Why should he not spend his money on what he loves and has been at also many years....drag racing. The last few years he has been able to go to more races with his daughter and I hope they win a few big races.
