Johnny and Bill |
We
would like to congratulate JBFC member Bill Byrne on
winning the 2005 Nextel Cup Championship!
Bill is part of the #20 Home Depot team and will be
heading to New York next week to celebrate with his
team. I need to share with you .... It
was just ten years ago that he was a fan cheering Johnny
on to his Busch Championship. Now he is a valued
team member of Joe Gibbs Racing. In fact, Bill and
the engine builder were the only crew members allowed
into the garage area before it opened to check out the
#20 engine after Tony spun out in late night practice.
Dreams do come true! Congratulations, Bill!
