The unsung heroes of our series are the many people behind the scenes that support the racers. Most of the time that means family and what they do by giving time, money and sacrifice is what keeps many on the seat in this series. Eric is fortunate enough to have two wonderful parents that back him 100% in every way they can. Family should be first and foremost for everyone, but when it comes to racing, it helps hold together that bond that many loose as we all grow up and apart. It does me good to see families working together, both in bad times and good. One may never become the next Bill Ballance, but in years to come, they can look back and be proud that no matter what the results show, they did it all together.
