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.
