[quote=Glenn Lane]I took my 2 oldest sons to the Speedway for the first time in 1993.  They were 8 and 9 years old.  We were at Carb day when a photographer came up and asked me to sign a release to use a photo of my sons.  I signed it, however, when a second photographer asked me to do the same an hour late I figured it must be a very common thing and I figured the photos would never be used.  We had a great time at the race, then on the way home, someone on the airplane ride home said, "that was a nice photo of your son on the cover of the Star!"  Luckily we had several friends that kept the paper and sent us the front page.  Sure enough, there was a color photo of my 8 year old son on the cover of the Friday Indianapolis Star.  He was giving a thumbs up sign and had his tongue sticking out.  I remember the moment.  It was the moment when his favorite driver, Al Unser Jr, was leaving the pits to hit the track on carb day.  
 
I've always thought it would be a cool story to cover his trip to Indy this year as a follow up 15 years later.  He has graduated from college and works as a Financial Analyst for Edward Jones. [/quote]
