YEARS AGO AT HUDSON SPEEDWAY THERE WAS A POWDER PUFF RACE AND MY NIECE PLANNED ON DRIVING IN IT WITH HER BROTHERS RACE CAR, BUT IT WAS WRECKED DURING THE RACE,"SHE DIDNT KNOW WHO MOE WAS " BUT HE CAME TO HER AND OFFERED HER HIS RACE CAR FOR THE RACE THAT DAY! IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL GESTURE.. SHE TOOK HIM UP ON IT AND SHE HAD A GREAT DAY AND A STORY TO LAST HER LIFE TIME.
