AS I DO EVERY OCTOBER I WENT TO MARTINSVILLE ON FRIDAY FOR A WEEKEND OF RACING. I DIDN'T GET TO THE TRACK UNTIL LATE THAT EVENING SO I JUST DONE SOME SHOPPING (I GOT A DALE JR SHIRT OFF THE BUDWEISER TRAILER FOR $3) THEN I WENT DOWN BY THE TUNNEL. I GOT TO SEE DALE JR DRIVE BY ME IN A GOLF CART. BUT WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR WAS DAVID! HE CAME OUT AND CAME RIGHT TO WHERE WE WERE SETTING. HE TALKED TO US FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES ASKING HOW WE HAD BEEN SINCE HE LAST SAW US. BEFORE HE LEFT HE TOLD US TO WAIT ON HIM AFTER THE RACE TOMORROW AND WE WOULD GO HAVE DINNER. WE GOT TO THE TRACK AT 11 THE NEXT MORNING, JUST IN TIME FOR QUALIFYING. DAVID LAID DOWN A GOOD LAP AND QUALIFIED IN THE TOP 10. HE HAD TOLD ME THE NIGHT BEFORE HE HADN'T DONE ANY QUALIFYING RUNS SO I WAS ALITTLE SURPRISED THAT HE DID SO WELL. I KNEW HE WAS GOOD TO GO WHEN THE GREEN DROPPED. DURING DRIVER INTRODUCTIONS I WAS STANDING BEHIND DAVID'S TRUCK FLIRTING WITH JEREMY(A CREWMAN) AND WAITING ON DAVID. WHEN HE CAME TO THE TRUCK HE LOOKED INTO THE STANDS AND BLEW ME A KISS. HE CAME OVER TO THE FENCE AND TALK TO ME FOR A FEW MINUTES, ASKING WHERE MY MOM WAS, DID WE HAVE GOOD SEATS, AND REMINDING ME TO WAIT ON HIM FOR DINNER. I WISHED HIM LUCK AND WENT BACK TO MY SEATS. I MUST SAY THAT WAS THE BEST RACE I HAVE EVER SAW! THERE WERE WRECKS (LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT) AND BEATING AND BANGING ON EACH OTHER, AND DAVID WAS AWESOME. HE WAS PASSING TRUCKS 2 AT A TIME!! AFTER THE RACE WE WENT TO WAIT ON DAVID. MY BROTHER MET A FEW OF THE TRUCK DRIVERS, AND CARL EDWARDS EVEN STOPPED HIS VEHICLE TO SIGN HIS CARL EDWARDS HAT. WHEN DAVID CAME OUT HE SIGNED A COUPLE AUTOGRAPHS AND TOOK A FEW PICTURES BEFORE SAYING "LET'S GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT". DAVID MADE HIMSELF AT HOME IN THE CAR, LOOKING AT PICTURES MY MOM HAD AND ASKING ABOUT THEM. WE TOOK DAVID TO HIS CAR, AND I RODE WITH HIM TO THE RESTUARANT. HE SANG ON THE WAY THERE! AT DINNER HE INTRODUCED US TO DAVID GILLILAND(CUTIE) AND WE TALKED THE HAPPENINGS OF RACING. HE TALKED ABOUT TEXAS, WE TOLD HIM OF WEST VIRIGINIA. HE CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SMALL OF A TOWN WE LIVE IN. HE TOLD MY MOM TO BRING HIM PICTURES OF ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE WITH MY 80'S HAIR. WHEN THE CHECK CAME DAVID ARGUED WITH MY MOM AND ENDED UP PAYING. AFTER DINNER, DAVID HEADED BACK TO DANVILLE, WE HEADED TO BURNT CHIMNEY. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED DAVID TO ARRANGE ONE LAST MEETING. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE TRACK BUT SAID HE WOULD CALL ME WHEN HE GOT THERE. ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR LATER HE CALLED, "HELLO" I SAID, "THIS IS YOUR WAKE UP CALL" DAVID SAID, AND TO MY SURPRISE I REPLIED "IT'S A GOOD ONE" THAT MADE HIM GIGGLE! HE TOLD ME HE WOULD BE THERE IN 5 MINUTES SO I HURRIED TO BE THERE TO WAIT ON HIM. HE CAME DOWN THE HILL AND GAVE US ALL HUGS, WE TALKED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE HE LEFT. HE TOLD US TO STAY IN TOUCH AND ENJOY THE RACE. DAVID IS SUCH A DOWN-TO-EARTH NICE GUY, AND HE KNOWS ME WHEN HE SEES ME BUT HE STILL GIVES ME BUTTERFLIES. HE KEEPS TELLING ME THAT HE'S NOTHING TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT BUT I CAN'T HELP IT. I LOVE HIM!
