Scelzi is listed as a coach, and Mike Neff IS a member of JFR.

I'm hoping there will be more drivers that will just show up even though they may not be playing. They will come for the laughs...

and support their teammates..

What a coincidence. Just today I was telling a newbie about the NHRA vs NASCAR benefit softball game they put on after Darrell Gwynn's accident.

I remember that John Force kept sneaking over to the NASCAR dugout to make comments such as "You guys must not get much TV time because I don't recognize any of you" and "How do you get those tin cans to turn left, anyway?"

We still had fun!!

The drivers all hung around with the fans and even conducted a friendly Q&A session for us die-hards that stuck it out until the end.
Working on my pictures and will post them shortly.

Hey Kelly - I told Ron you would be jealous

but I took some pics for you!
