If it is…. It’s good to hear his voice talking about drag racing again.

Brian.
That sure is Bill Stephens! He's a great guy to work with and a total pro! We've been so fortunate to have Alan Reinhart, Bill Stephens and Bob Frey to work with...these guys know their stuff and make it fun. Reinhart is the man at the top end and there's nobody better...Frey lets us get him in action in the booth. ..the stories they have!

To all of the fans, please know as A&E has posted on their website, this entire second season of Driving Force is dedicated to the life of Eric Medlen.

Re: Driving Force

I thought the episode was "bittersweet". While it was hard watching it, it really drove home the fact that death does happen, be it in a racecar or of natural occurrance.
I thought of Eric throughout the show alternating between happiness (seeing Eric on screen) and sadness (knowing that his family had to go through that funeral process). I was exhausted by the end of the show.

Re: Driving Force

I've given this episode a lot of thought, and here's my take on it.

I think Eric laughed out loud at some parts of it. During the visit to the funeral home, I'm thinking he was just shaking his head and grinning about John and his decision to take the family there. Then LOL'd when Ashley says, 'See? Here's another example of how dysfunctional our family is', in the car on the way back.

Eric is ok folks. If your faith does not allow you to believe that, take whatever time you need to grieve, and then try to catch up with him, cuz he's movin' on, just as he did on this side of Eternity. His faith and that of his Dad's, can be an inspiration to all who knew him, or knew of him.

Because He lives, Eric also lives. His Dad knows that. I know that. Many, many people know that. And that is good.
