The Champion (Racing On the Edge)
“ “Don’t take it personal Jameson.”
I fucking hated those words. Despised them even. Anyone who said that to me at the track, they better be ready for my temper and maybe a fist or two.
When I think about my kids growing up, I think about every meal I’ve missed with them. I think about every race of theirs I’ve failed to make. I think about missing Arie’s birth or Casten’s first birthday.
I think about how many dance recitals I’ve missed. I think about Axel’s first Dirt Nationals and the countless races on Sundays because I was racing. I think about how many times I’ve missed Sway’s birthday since as it was the same weekend Richmond race. Then there were the anniversaries that were interrupted by the award ceremonies.
All these things ran through my mind whenever someone spoke those words to me. So to say this wasn’t personal to me was bullshit.
This was personal. I put everything I had into racing including my time away from my wife and kids.
Every lap I made, every race or champions...hip I won was personal to me for the simple fact that it’s time away from seeing my family.MoreLess
