Congrads to Jason and his wife. I really like the name. It would be nice if Jason could get his first win on Sat. so he could bring home a trophy for his new baby!

Congratulations Jason and Alison. And welcome little Charlie. Glad you finally decided to join us, little one. Jason was stressing last weekend when they thought the baby was coming.

LOL I just got home from work when I made my comment and oviously I wasn’t thinking. I meant to say his first win of the season rather then his first win period, however even that would’ve been wrong. I forgot he won just a few weeks ago, oh well though Congratulations again to the new parents!

Congratualtions to the Lefflers. I’m sure Charlie is a little cutie.

Actually Karen, Jason won a few weeks ago at O’reily Raceway Park, Allison’s last race before their son was born.

I’d like to see him win again though. I really like him.

Charlie Leffler. Let’s hope the kid doesn’t have a speech impediment!
