Dude if I had the cash on me right now I would. But imo everyone talks about Earnhardt and guys like Adam have been overlooked.I thinlk its good you made this post to make some people remember him. I remember coming home from school and hearing on the news he had died. I was really in shock this was a young driver not much older that me at the time who lost his life before his career got started.

In memory of Adam! Great initiative. Thanks for reminding us. He's truly missed!

I was at Adams First win in ASA it was at I-70 speedway he was sponsered by Sprint (headquatered here in KC). He came from 2 laps down to win the race I was working for TNN for that race. The camara guy and I were the first people to his car and he was on his cell phone calling his mom (there were in Califonia for the cup race). He said mom guess what I WON I WON. As I was looking in his car he looked up at me and had a big smile gave me a thumbs up.

That's pretty cool, Scott. It is real sad that he never really got a chance to show his stuff. Up until his death, I didn't realize how dangerous racing was. That was a bad stretch losing three drivers in that short of time.
