Special Message From Jane Benton

  Mrs. Jane Benton's granddaughter, Morgan Williams, was recently in a horrific car crash and after an outpour of help from some of the drivers at Needmore Saturday night this was the message she sent....


"Dirt track racers are a special breed apart on and off the tracks ... and Saturday night at Needmore Speedway was just another example of the big heart that they have. Three drivers from three classes donated their winnings and trophies to Morgan Williams and her family Terry and Vincent Williams. Morgan, who was scheduled to race her first race this year on Saturday at Needmore, was severely injured in an auto accident a week ago and has long road to recovery. Morgan's mom Terry is a Needmore/Albany scorer and her dad Vincent is a racer. So please ... the next time you see or talk to these drivers, give them a shoutout about how much you appreciate them on and off the track. They are Leon Childs, Ryan Hembree and Michael Ford. They each have the biggest heart and deserve your accolades. And if you are a fan in the grandstand, take a moment to reflect on their unselfishness and gratitude for others. Our family will always hold a special place in our hearts for these drivers. Thank you and may God bless you three greatly."
