A Chinook helicopter delivered the pace car on Sunday! Delivering the pace car: Leaving the track:

Those old CH-47's have been doing their thing for a lot of years, and they still can't be beat.

Now THAT'S cool!! I love aircraft. I don't know much about them but I'm always running out to the porch to see what's flying overhead! I'd personally love buying a house at the end of a runway.

I remember a few years ago when the baseball All-Star game was in Pittsburgh, I was out riding my bike and got to see the A-10 squadron flyover about 20 times circling my neighborhood until it was time to buzz PNC park!

They were almost as cool as the ship herself!

Olive Oil: I have a picture of my late husband with Richard Petty. Richard was his favorite driver. Is place I can send this and have Richard sign it? It would mean everything to me. We were married 52 years. May 25, 2015 11:43:27 GMT -5

Carole: I have a picture of my husband sitting on the hood of the 43 car at the 1979 Daytona 500 winning circle. How he got on the hood, your guess is as good as mine!!! he's also on the back of the sleeve of the movie. Jun 9, 2015 13:19:25 GMT -5
