Special Thanks to my Dad William "Bennie" Gage (Bill) who's gone now.  As just your "kid" son, you taught me the in/outs of motorsports, the passion, the fellowship, the sportsmanship and having Sunoco flow thru ones veins, everytime you start the engine.
What the master taught the student, some 35 yrs ago,  has once again been passed onto your
grandsons!  ALWAYS REMEMBER it was passed on down!  I know your up there putting us into the water box, watching us stage and saving that place for all of us,  as we cross that 1320' line and pull the chute that final time as the win light,  lights up!  There is not a weekend that goes by that we don't think about you not there, yet being there with us, watching us from above.

Dad, We all miss you !
Your Son and Grandsons
The old man showin the kid how its done and prayin he's watching so he can make his pass!
