Christmas, Hanukkah 2011

Dear Friends, Family, and Fans:

I want to take this opportunity to send you and yours my warmest wishes for a holiday season filled with much love and wonder. For many of us, this year has been filled with a variety of emotions. We’ve had challenges to be sure, but we’ve also had moments of great warmth, happiness, laughter and adventure. I send you my deepest thanks and immense gratitude for being there for me in all of them!

Together we’ve shared in community outreach work. The opportunity to meet and work with many wonderful, gifted, strong, and courageous people, dedicated to the support and continued growth of charitable and service organizations has been the highlight of 2011. From the 101 Days of Summer, which brings programs of interest and education to our brothers and sisters in the military, to the Be The Match, Breath of Life and Hope Kids organizations, the energy and commitment of those involved in this work is the stuff life is made out of!! Through this work, I have learned about the strength of the human spirit and the power of hope. Thank you for this!! I look forward to many more adventures with all of you!

My Racing Year has been a test of resilience. Beset by a series of mechanical difficulties, the year seemed almost over before it started. However, the challenges also brought some opportunity! I now find myself excitedly with a team in the K&N Pro Series West. Traveling to more racetracks across the country, and working with some talented racing professionals, I’m looking forward to a full K&N racing schedule in 2012, and a focused pursuit for Rookie of the Year with some very talented racers. I send you my immense gratitude for being part of my racing year, and look forward to seeing you in the stands and joining me in the pits in the New Year!

I wish you a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah and truly wonderous, prosperous, successful and Happy New Year!!
