    Yes 30 minutes from Bristol. 5 mins from Johnson City, TN. Lots of the Nascar private planes fly into that airport.

    Yes I know you are from there. I had the course record at 11 of the local courses when I moved away in 1994. Not sure if I still hold any of them now.

    Shot 64 in a Pro-Am there once. I think that was my low score on that track. Only played that course 1 or 2 times a year in the Pro-Ams.

    Yeah, after Rick Hendrick losing his son and several members of his race organization, I don’t know why these guys keep using those small ass planes. Losing Davy Allison in that tiny ass helicopter he was riding in, was heartbreaking too.

    These Nascar guys are in the air A LOT, between races, appearances and other gigs...

    It's just the law of averages really.

    Since he's ok, surely someone can come up with a joke here, in regards to this crash & his overhyped racing career
