I'm the reason Peggy and Gail had to speed out of there. I was born April 7th 1973 at 1:05 PM. Peggy was setting up the concession stand when her water broke. Folks thought that they named me Dustin due to the amout of dust they let fly when they were heading to Des Moines. Actually, it was a decisioin they came to after I was born. Gail, my father had the winning purse still in his posesstion when this occured so, yes payment for that first race was delayed. Granted, it's been 38 years, but I guess I still have a bit of that race car feeling in me. I'm now on a bowling league in Des Moines at Plaza Lanes that is centered around the Nascar Season.You may find pictures of Gail in other areas of this site. He was a flagger before he bought The Stuart Raceway. When I say he bought it, the thruth is that it was a decision my parents left up to my siblings at first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
