(Ash) In the aftermath of all of the was not was of yesterday's NASCAR Nextel race (which ended with a mess on the last lap) and oddly enough, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race ending somewhat the same way- that is just racing at its best. Racing at its best is defined by each individual racer, fan, track owner, team member and so on- but knowing why you do what you do, say what you say, react the way you react and basically owning up to your actions are just part of life's lessons.
Candidly I wrote this weekend some of this and that about the "outside" of racing at Talladega, when I could have just as well written the facts from the inside (remember the HOT pass) --you can find those facts on many sites like our RaceFan.com or WhoWon.com or any general stats site for racing.
Reality check Sunday when I learned that a young, talented, on the rise driver from Birmingham, Alabama, had died as a result of a wreck in his truck, in a small town just south of Birmingham. Spending time at Birmingham International Raceway (BIR) that he called home, I have spent time with memebers of his family and the people that surrounded the driver from a young age.
Bradberry was enjoying a successful season, a tour with the PASS series, contention for great sponsorship, and more, he was just getting started on his career and his future.
Charlie and his bride Brandi were excited about their first child due in February. Charlie knew no strangers and the racing 'community' of the South will greatly miss his enthusiam at the tracks.
