Going to the races

On August 30, 2008, Joe Milo lead a group of Lexington Rotarians to Motor Mile Speedway in Radford, VA to see our own Sheryl Carls drive in two stock car races. Everyone had a ball, topped by SherylÂ’s third place finish in the final 30-lap race. Dr. Sheryl Carls is the Veterinarian at Lexington Animal Hospital and drives four different Nascar cars, this is the one she drives in the Street Stock class at Motor Mile Speedway.
Below are pictures from before, during, and after the race.
