Lets start from friday afternoon. Bryon & Kim are the flagman & women for the Craftsman truck series. The two of them took time before qualifing and the race to chat with Noah. He had his flags and was flagging with them from the front row of the stands near the flagstand. Bryon and Kim made Noah feel like the King of Flagging. Bryon says he will make sure Noah gets an official Craftsman truck series shirt at the end of the year. Wow how awsome is that. Kim found it cool to have someone look up to her. She seemed to be as into talking to Noah as he was to her. It is her first full season in the stand. She said she loves it.
Now lets go to saturday. The afternoon started with the USST. United States Super Truck series. The flagmen where Tim and assistant Jim. They work for the Milwaukee mile. Anyway Noah was flagging like usual for practive. When I saw Tim get a call over the radio at the end of practice. He looked at Jim and they both pointed at Noah. Well shortly after practice was over, the two of them climed down from the stand and came over to Noah. They asked if he would like to come up to the falgstand for qualifing. Wow is all I could say. So Noah and I, yes I got to go along. Went to the flagstand and climbed up. When the first truck came down to get the white flag, only one lap for qualifing, I had goosebumps all over. The look and smile on Noahs face. Well I couldnt have made him any happier ever in his life. We got to stay up there for every truck. 17 of 18 trucks qualified. And for 17 trucks Noah never stoped smiling. Thankyou again Tim & Jim. Also thankyou Milwaukee Mile, who ever made the call down to allow Noah up there thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
Now lets get to the just before qualifing for the Nationwide cars Keith flags for the Nationwide series. He remembered Noah from last year. He came over and talked to him a while. Then after Qualifing and before the race, came and gave Noah and official Nationwide series cap. He autographed it and gave it to Noah. Thankyou Bryon. That was just iceing on the cake. Thankyou all from Milwuakee this past weekend.
Also thankyou Kim on saturday she worked in the pits. She saw Noah and from the pits pointed out to her friend she was working with and waved to Noah. Thankyou all very much for making this weekend the best possible for my son Noah and I. I could not have drawn up a better weekend.
I saw Noah on Saturday night, just waving his green flag like crazy on every restart. He had me smiling the whole race. Sounds like you guys made some new friends, and had a blast up on the flagstand in Milwaukee.
This was a great post to start off a Monday morning.
I was able to tune in for a short time on the NW race and like Hanahan, I saw that green flag waving in the stands just behind the platform. I knew it had to be Noah. Great story about a great kid and his Dad. Those folks at the track also make it into the great category!
Hana & Dwindy. I could not have had a better weekend. Noah and I had a blast. The Flagmen & woman were great. Also the officials from in the booth of the mile letting Noah and I go up in the flag stand for the SuperTrucks was great. I also dropped a letter to the editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Thanking all the Mile officials and Jim and Tim who flag for the Mile.
Noahspop- You dont need my connections! You are all hooked up already! What an excellent weekend for you and Noah...he is destined to be the next Nascar flagman I just know it and we can all say we knew him when...
Well I am a Father of an awsome 9 yearold junior flaggman. Together we are the biggest racefans. We have an awsome diecast collection and love to get to any races we can. I became a fan with my mother, and now my son with me. I work full time as a machinist, and father. This will be something new and enjoyable, I will also get my sons view and let you no that as well. Well now about the teams and drivers we like. I am a Hendrick fan #24 preferably, and Noah my son Roush and the #17. So last spring was fun when we went to Bristol.
