[Shirley Ryan]

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO HAD A HAND IN MAKING THE CHARLIE RYAN JR. MEMORIAL RACE SUCH A GREAT NIGHT. WE (CHARLIES FAMILY) WOULD LIKE TO TELL ALL OF THOSE THAT ATTENDED AND HAD A HAND IN MAKING IT A VERY MEMORABLE NIGHT, THAT IT COULDN`T HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. AND FOR THE NASCAR GUYS TO BE THERE MADE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL. TONY STEWART PERSONALLY TALKED TO ALL OF US AND WAS VERY HAPPY HE COULD MAKE IT ON SUCH A SPECIAL NIGHT TOO, AND DID TELL US HE WOULD BE BACK NEXT YEAR. AND WE WANT TO THANK TONI AND CHAD FOR LETTING TIMMY RACE CHARLIES CAR. IT SEEMED LIKE TIMMY`S CAR WASN`T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE AND CHARLIES WAS, ANYWAY THE NIGHT WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY ALL OF US. I APPOLOGIZE FOR BEING SO LATE IN GETTING MY THANKS OUT TO EVERYONE. AS USUAL OUR RACING FAMILY CAME THROUGH FOR US. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, I`M SURE CHARLIE IS LOOKING DOWN SAYING GREAT JOB GUYS, WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. THANKS AGAIN, MOM RYAN AND FAMILY
