      I met Clay last weekend at a BRAKES driving school. I don't recall ever meeting anyone as humble and sincere as Clay in my life. I have the greatest admiration for celebrities that are common people at heart. It's been over 20 years since i have been to an NHRA event, now I have a new reason to follow the sport. I also plan to start donating my time at the Memphis BRAKES school because I was so touched by Clay's story.

      My thoughts......there are dozens of incredibly crazy, interesting, charismatic drivers and riders on the NHRA circuit. Heck, any of the Force ladies (of course), Leah, the Sarge, Antron of course....all people i'd love to get away from the track and spend a afternoon with. But, without a doubt, Clay would be my number 1 pick. I've met the man several times but don't know him. Still, when he won that national event, I cried too.

      I had never heard about Clay's son. Clay used to be my favorite drag racer, years ago but I lost track of drag racing for many years. My heart goes out to Clay and his wife, and know their pain, as we have the loss of a son in common. You never get over that loss. You just learn to carry it with you.

  • @TexasHarleyBoy65

    I have always like Clay, but I had no idea that he'd lost a son in a tragic accident. I was always impressed by his demeanor and attitude, but my respect for him has skyrocketed now that I know his heartbreak and subsequent triumph! Clay, you are a true champion and I hope you continue to race and win. God bless you and your family.

Having two sons of my own, I cannot begin to imagine the pain that he must have endured. I Pray that God will comfort Clay and his family with the knowledge that their son is Resting in the Arms of Jesus.
