With this being my final Accord Speedway column for 2022, I would like to thank some of the people who make covering Accord for Race Pro Weekly so enjoyable.
The Palmer family, Gary, Donna and Melissa Hatzistergos. You folks treat my sons and I so well there. It is truly a pleasure to go there and cover all your events.
Thank you to Accord’s scorers Michael Hager and Robert Freer for always supplying with the weekly results that assist me so much with the columns.
Accord’s Race Director, Dave Rocket, always answers any questions I have about any of the night’s races.
And my fellow photographer, Kevin Berryman, always makes sure that I get the Modified winner interview.
And all the racers and crews at Accord. Thank you so much for what you put into the sport. Without you, I would be sitting home watching boring baseball instead of doing what I enjoy to do.
I hope that you all enjoyed the Accord column and photo coverage on Race Pro Weekly in 2022 and thank you to those who check out the action throughout the season.
See you in 2023. Support your local track!
