Jackie, you set a fine racecraft example for the rest of us, and I happen to know a certain teenage girl has been greatly influenced by you.......

Way to go, Jackie! You've come a long, long way from that rainy day in the Northeast Lot!

You've worked hard, you've won your races, and more importantly, you have won the respect and gratitude of everyone in this community with your on-track driving and your off-the-track humility and humanity. Way to go! 8) I'm really happy for you.

Innocent cones? I beg to differ. Jackie never hit a cone that didn't deserve it! :rockon:

Great job. Just one question: how exactly did you refer to Phil that the author had to substitute " [my husband] " in its place in the article? The old man? Old f@&*? Well, regardless, you guys make quite a team. Congratulations.

So Jackie, tell us how this all came about. How did Oprah come to find out about your story? How long has this been in the works? You must have been on pins and needles for weeks!
