I think it would be nice to put a note about this in the program for tomorrow night. If anyone has any information they feel should be included (beyond what is written above that might be good to have in) send it off to john@delawarespeedway.com.
Sorry I don't know much about him, other than that before the NASCAR deal, I believe the McKichans either owned or crewed on Earl's number 13 cars, like the purple Chevelle aka the Wild Mouse. And even then don't hold me to it..sorry. Jerry Thompson might be the guy to talk to.
