I'm sure his was the best presentation since he put so much work into it. How did you present the video in the class?
I'm happy to hear that Jr is a role model for other kids.
He is going to be part of a charity event this evening.

Drivers connect with fans at Stocks for Tots, legends reunion
DAVID POOLE
The Charlotte Observer
One tradition continues tonight with Stocks for Tots in Mooresville, and let's hope that another one began Saturday afternoon.
Stocks for Tots is an annual gathering of racers and race fans in "Race City USA" that since 1989 has raised around $400,000 for causes that fight child abuse and collected more than 30,000 Christmas toys to be distributed to children in the region.
This year, the event moves from the Lakeside Business Park to the Charles Mack Citizen Center in downtown Mooresville. Entertainment starts at 6 and doors open for autographs at 7. Admission is a minimum $10 cash donation or a new, unwrapped toy worth at least $10.
I've gone to Stocks for Tots for, I guess, 10 years now and sat alongside people like Buddy Baker and Ryan Newman and watched fans come by with suitcases and duffle bags full of stuff they want signed. I've kidded Baker that when he started driving his cars must have had stone wheels, but danged it every year people don't come in carrying models of cars he drove back when he was a "young gun."
It's always good to see some of today's biggest stars come to an event like Stocks for Tots and give their time, which is for a modern racer at NASCAR's top levels about the most precious thing he has, to the cause and to the fans.
The guys who're scheduled to show up tonight, like Newman, Kurt Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle and many more, seem to understand that signing autographs is more than just part of their job. It's a way for them to connect with the fans, people who will remember them long after they've parked their cars in the garage for the final time.
