Tonight was emotional for me. I got to see my driver win for possibly the final time. 11 years ago I went and saw the movie Cars and fell in love with the thought of racing. I lived overseas at the time and it was like this touch of Americana, a link to everything I had back home. That fall I sat down in front of my TV and watched my first race, the 2006 fall Dover race. I chose my driver simply cause I liked the colors of the car. Little did I know it would change my life forever. Now 11 years later, living as a superfan, I have been to a number of races, met Matt a number of times and shed numerous tears of both joy and sorrow over a sport and driver that mean so much to me. So Matt I just wanted to say thank you. For being an amazing, talented driver, an inspiration, an extremely nice guy, and over all amazing human. Your fans are some of the most blessed in NASCAR. I made this art piece tonight as a tribute to Matt and my years as a superfan. We love you Matt. Thank you.
