Congratulations -- all the best.

I'll tell you a bit of what D. Wayne Lukas told me (when I won my first race). Live it, enjoy it, every single moment. Take it in. And remember it so very well. You will want to bottle it up and open up the bottle and take some out during some of the "down" times, and there will be down times. But the down times are worth it because the great times are oh so great.

Have a great time because it's the greatest game going.

Eric

Congrats!!!

I'll echo Eric's sentiments. You'll never forget your first winner!!!

Owning is truly a rollercoaster ride. There will be days you'll feel like it is oh so easy. And there will be others when you'll second guess everything you do.

Enjoy yourself and be realistic in your expectations and you'll have a fun, fun time!!!
