Ginger and I getting married on the beach
Hi everyone. I am so sorry for not updating this blog sooner. So much has been happening and I will try to get you up to speed the best that I can.
First of all, Ginger and I finally got married! We had planned on tying the knot last year but then the boys’ accident changed everything. Then we were going to get married earlier this year and my Dad was coming to visit and then he got sick. We finally had everyone together on July 4 down at Oak Island beach, here in North Carolina, and everything worked out great. We got married in shorts and sandals!
Now that the NFL season is kicking into gear I got to go to a Panthers game last week with Ginger and my buddy Mike Ege. That was really fun and I’m looking forward to a few other home games this season. A former Panther, Mike Minter, will be the keynote speaker at the B.R.A.K.E.S. dinner this year so that’s awesome, I love supporting those guys.
Another thing that’s really exciting is that I’ll be out racing at zMax in Charlotte next weekend! We have secured sponsorship support for the Charlotte race! We’ll make an announcement and get all the details out about that next week.
We also have some fun stuff coming up for B.R.A.K.E.S. and I would like to ask everyone to come out and join us! Next Thursday, Sept. 17, B.R.A.K.E.S. (www.putonthebrakes.org ) is having our Second Annual Benefit Dinner presented by tiwi at the Speedway Club, located at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway directly across the street from the zMax Dragway here in the Charlotte area. Earlier that day we are having the PPG Paintball Tournament to have a lot of fun and raise some money for a great cause.
I would like to invite everyone to come out and have some fun with us and hang out with some of the drivers and teams. For more information please visit the website www.putonthebrakes.org
Take care and I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Charlotte!
Until next time! Doug
