Dave Blumenthal was a dear friend of mine for 17 years, and I am thankful that this race gave him an opportunity to pursue such a beautiful dream, even though it ended in tragedy for him and for those who love him.
My 5-year-old son has been rooting for you ever since you said you would carry Dave B's memory with you to Antelope Wells: "If Matthew Lee finishes first, Mom, that means Dave will finish first."
Congratulations, Matthew
