Hi @andyserling! Me and @adamred had a good time at the track today and are here for the weekend and for the Jim Dandy. Can we drop by and say hello? Thanks for all you do. We love being here and you’re a fun part of it.

Today we celebrate a group of guys that didn't just show up, but completely shifted the course of the program. The impact of this squad will be felt for years to come.
