As I write a story for the 2014 Dirt Late Model Dream program, I have a simple challenge for everyone: Take a kid to the races with you this weekend.
It's way too easy for us to get caught in the motions of everyday life. So, this weekend, let a youngster see what racing is like. Let them try to pick the winners of the races. Buy them a t-shirt or, at least, a souvenir program. Take them to the pits afterwards to meet a driver and get an autograph.
Remember, kids are the future of our sport. And if we want this sport to grow at all, we have to get them away from the TVs, phones, and ipads. Show them what a good time racing is...just like someone probably showed you when you were that age.
I promise, it'll make a difference in their life. Hopefully, it'll make a difference in yours too.
