Place:Thompson Speedway, Thompson,CT
Setting:Concourse, Sit down signing
This week's Throwback features 14 time NSCS race winner, Kasey Kahne. As you read in my Michael Waltrip entry, Thompson Speedway used to bring in 1 or 2 Sprint Cup(at that time, Nextel Cup) drivers, to race and have an autograph session. Kasey made the appearance with a former champion(which will be next week's throwback)
The autograph itself was easy, all you had to do was buy a ticket and get in line, Kahne was a lot more shy than Waltrip was, but was still nice.
Kahne also was there with Tommy Baldwin his crew chief at the time, whose father I saw in a very sad coincidence pass away at Thompson in a racing accident.
The pair used Thompson to test at before that weekend's race at Loudon, because Baldwin had done the same with Ward Burton years before, and went on to win the race.
I had both of them sign my photo, which is hanging in my room at home.
