One rough night. One long repair.

Ed was Justin’s friend. After Ed’s #5 rolled at Macomb Speedway in 2002, Justin and Ed’s team stayed up that night getting the car ready to race again.

They had two days of racing back to back. The car was repaired in time for Donnellson the following day.

The photo belongs in the album with the story attached: Ed’s car, and a night Justin and the crew spent helping a friend get back on track.
