USER PROFILE: MICHELED (MICHELE)

Since the track at Gateway is just over the river from St. Louis, my hometown, I got garage and pit passes to the 2006 race. Carl Edwards won! Not only did he sign my daughter's hat, but also autographed a bunch of other stuff for her, which was cool considering she'd just been in his race shop the Monday following Pocono (she's a true 99 fan). Dale Jr. did come and watch the race (off weekend for Cup), but I was long gone from the garage area by race start. Had to go watch the race with my daughter--she's not old enough yet to be in the garage/pit area.
