During that span he was a fan favorite, finishing in style last season. Although he didn't win the points championship, Agnew set a track record with 14 first-place finishes. Ronnie Thomas remembered one that crossed family lines when his father, Jabe, was racing on that same real estate when it was a half-mile dirt track years ago. So was Ferrum's Paul Radford. That meant a lot to me.
Every year there's a rivalry of some sort.
Or what about Thomas and Johnny Rumley, the Winston-Salem roofing contractor who has since gone on to compete on the Busch circuit and Hooters Pro Cup. It's hard to believe how somebody could dislike somebody as much as he dislikes me, though. I guess if he'd won more, he would have liked me better. Talk about a hypothetical situation. But we aren't friends.
