"I took my Momma, who is a HUGE Dale Earnhardt fan, so, of course, we took the Dale Trail tour with the "memory maker", Roger.  I have not see my Momma that happy in so long.  The tour was amazing and full of information.  We never once felt rushed or hurried and felt really special at every spot we went on the tour.  I would recommend this tour to any NASCAR fan.  Continue the good work in making happy memories for the fans.  We loved it!"

Amanda, thank you for allowing us to be a part of making Momma happy --- cause we all know when Momma is happy, everyone is happy!
