Thoughts and Prayers
Posted: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 by WKR inAt this time we want to keep our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for my cousin, Shane Upchurch who was involved in a rugby accident and is now home recovering with nurse "Jamie". Also on a sad note, please keep John Schuler's family in your prayers with the recent passing of his father.
It was a good weekend for Will and the WillKimmel Racing team. With the support of sponsors and hard work from the team, Will was able to qualify 8th, be the fastest car in final practice, and finish 18th in today's race at Daytona Int'l Speedway. After Will got caught up in a wreck, Will's team worked hard to repair the car and Will was able to go back out to finish his first race at the world center of racing. Thanks for everyone's support!
