Hey everyone, Rickie here. I am sure you all know the surprise I was talking about by now. If not, well here goes.

I have been declared into the inaugural class of inductees for Bristol’s Legends of Thunder Valley.

This is by far the greatest accomplishment ever in my career. I have raced a lot of cars and have won many races and many championships, but this is the first time I have ever actually been honored for my accomplishments.

I first found out about this last year and I could not believe it. To be associated with the caliber of people that I was honored with is unreal. I mean, Larry Carrier, without him Bristol would have never happened. Wally Parks, without him there would be no NHRA and Don Garlits, the man who started it all. The greatest driver there is. I am very thankful to be among these great men.

Even though I was in Canada racing, for the first time ever might I add; Amanda did get some pictures of some of the items that Bristol put up in order to honor us. I would have loved to have been there and seen the banners and the fans this past weekend, but I had some other racing obligations before the race was rescheduled.

Hope you all had a good time if you went to Bristol and I hope to see you all soon! Thanks for checking in and root for Matt this weekend in Denver. See ya!
