Before some Chili Bowl drivers hit the dirt track at the RiverSpirit Expo Center, several of them visited the Children's Hospital at Saint Francis Tuesday morning. Chili Bowl drivers got away from the dirt track to spread a little cheer to children at Saint Francis. For more information on the Chili Bowl, click here . About a half dozen car drivers, from all different motorsports, visited several kids at the hospital. They took pictures, signed autographs. And they handed out shirts and sock animals that you can color with markers. Al Tschider has helped organize visits for years. Waiting for a heart transplant himself, he knows what it's like waiting in a hospital bed. "I just really believe in the family values of motorsports and what it does for kids. Especially a lot of kids that can't physically run or do a lot of that stuff," Tschider said. And it means a lot to the drivers too. Blake Hahn from Sapulpa was supposed to race in the Chili...

  (HHP/Alan Marler Photo) Article By:Aaron Burns MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Ray Evernham can still recall the first time he met the wiry kid from Pittsboro, Ind., who looked like he was 14 years old even after he’d already turned 19. Jeff Gordon always had a way of standing out beyond simply piloting a race car. Evernham – then known for his Modified racing success – was injured and looking for something to do. He’d seen Gordon on ESPN’s Saturday Night Thunder open-wheel telecasts, where the teenager was competing for trophies against legends like Rich Vogler. Evernham didn’t know what to think when, after Andy Petree suggested he work with Gordon and then-Busch Series car owner Hugh Connerty in 1990, he went to Charlotte, N.C. and met Gordon and his parents in a hotel room to plan out their strategy. Evernham had his briefcase. It contained what one...
