Today's winner thanks to Gary Pugh

It was a long day, but Brent and our whole team kept digging and we came away with our first win, and doing it Havasu makes it even better!

PS..Tomorrow is the second race of the weekend.

My brother Rick and his wife Judi are there, say Hi if you happen to bump into them.

Wow..a very interesting long talk with your brother Rick. He told me about his time with Mercury in WI and down under in Australia.
The Welch brothers are a great part of Mercury racing history.

Thanks
