DID YOU KNOW?...
Lincoln says "I'm a big time racing fan who gets completely pissed when closed minded
people call us stupid and dumb. Have a wife who also loves the races and
we are trying to raise our daughter not to be a "pit groupie"! Typically
go to 4-5 races a year, and try to hit at least 1 new track every season."
