Thanks, everyone! I'm excited to be here... should be a fun winter.

As for Meadowlands... I only called the first two weeks as I was already in NJ for MTH's final two weeks. That's a great spot by the way... the new building is fantastic.

The Meadowlands was already one of my favorite tracks and they made it better?!

Congrats on being at the Big A. It has to be really awesome to make it to the NY circuit growing up around it.

I only saw/heard a couple of races today Travis, but you sounded like you've been calling races at the Big A for years. Nice job, you sounded great.
