Here I am presenting Steve with a

very rare diecast model of Buddy's

2016 perfect season 22s car.

Steve quickly handed the car over to Buddy for an autograph

from the champ.

Steve handed me the microphone as I explained exactly what Dragsterjoe is all about and what it is that I do.

A chance to promote my business is always appreciated and Steve gave me that chance.

            ........Thanks Steve.

  DRAGSTERJOE presents Kern County Raceway's Steve Hughes with a

Steve Hughes is the media and marketing director as well as the race announcer at Kern County Raceway Park. During the 2016 season, he had several opportunities to interview Buddy Shepherd. 11 times to be exact as Buddy crushed the competition in the Late Model class by winning all 11 races to claim the title of 2016 champ.
