I wanted to thank everyone involved with putting this award together. I think it is a tremendous honor to receive an award like this, named after such great man. Jimmy made a point to walk around the pits, talk with everyone, drink with everyone and especially HELP everyone, when he could. There are SO many other crew members, from numerous teams, that were just as deserving of this award. For example, over the past year, Team LSB has become a huge asset for Kevin and the rest of us at Tug It Racing. Dan Hensley not only has to work on the LSB boat, but he does an extraordinary amount of work on the Tug It boat as well. Brit, Art, Dan, Renee, Amanda and the rest of the LSB team are always there to help out our team, and we can't thank them enough. Andre Butler? What can I say; everyone knows Andre and how much he does for Tug It and any other team that might need help. The fact that a new recipient will be given this award each year is a great idea.
I know that if it weren't for Kevin, the Tug It crew members would not even be a part of racing. The financial commitment that it takes to go to as many races as we do, is pretty hefty; so Andre and I definitely appreciate the opportunity that Kevin has given us. Over the past 2 plus years, we have made some amazing friendships within the SVL and OPA families, and have some great memories that I will cherish forever.
On Saturday night, Randy wrote a great tribute to Jimmy. Anyone that has attended OPA races in the past knows how much Jimmy meant to Randy and the entire Typhoon Racing Team. Again, I am truly honored to win this award.
Thank you OPA, Randy, and Kevin!!!!!
BTW.....TUG IT BABY!!!!!!!!!
