How the tradition started at Indy of kissing those gritty and rubber filled bricks? Well being a huge Dale Jarrett fan, I will let you all in on the details, of course I know some of you already know the answer but this is my blog so I can say whatever I want...LOLBack in 1999 when Dale Jarrett won the Brickyard 400, his crew chief, Todd Parrot suggested that the entire team go over to the finish line, turn their hats backwards, kneel down and all at the same time kiss the bricks. What do you know? Something as simple as that has turned out to be a tradition for the winner. DJ may not be having the stellar season, but he and his crew chief from the past did make history numerous times...as a matter of fact, DJ won the championship that same here.

it's become a good tradition..the only times I have kissed the ground was on a dirt bike and once when I got off a flight on Grace L. Ferguson's Storm Door and Airline company in northern Canada..which I guess doesn't really count like kissing the bricks..
I hope DJ gets to kiss the bricks again, anywhere, before he exits...
