Don returns to the track this season with renewed energy and high hopes. He finished 2010 just outside the Top 10 in points....but look for some improvement this season. At the season ending banquet, Don was presented with the Raymond Brown Memorial Award in the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets....an honor that he doesn't take lightly. Look for that to add some confidence as he battles toward the front!
