one thing about it , when you raced with the headman , you better be up on the wheel , one of the last old school racers in my opinion , when his son got killed , he was never the same , and I would not have been either , any way , good luck and praying for the one and only Headman .........

I hate to hear this about Mike. I've watched Mike race a few times over the years. I think my wife and I sat by Mike at a BBQ in the pits at Columbus one year. I do remember we both felt very small up next to him. As is often the case,it sounds like Mike is a big man with an even bigger heart.
I remember the death of Mike Jr. very well from reading about it in Behind the Wheel. The only time we've been to Talladega Short Track or any other track in Alabama was for the SAS Mike Head Jr. Memorial in 2005. I can't imagine losing a child,and especially not like that. I've seen what it does to people all too often. I hated it for him and his family.
I pray for strength and grace for the family in their time of need.

Thoughts and Prayers for Mike.
The first time I went to Bulls Gap, he and Wade Knowles had a heck of a battle. Also saw him win a $15k race at the old Thunder Valley Speedway in S.C.
He was a hot shoe back in the day.
