Hiya everyone! Mama T has made her appearance again ... I wish it were under better circumstances ...

I'm sure most of you heard the tragic news about Wheel's dad, Scott Semmelmann. I can tell you that this man was a wonderful husband and father of three great kids. Wheel (and his little brother) were very close to their daddy. I know they would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Shock and I thought it'd be a good idea to send Wheel (Austen) and his brother (Dillon) a condolences card at the end of the week on behalf of DTR2 drivers. After y'all write all your condolences on this thread, I'm gonna print the thread out, make it look nice, and send it with the card. Let's try and get as many people as possible to write a short, respectful message for Austen and Dillon. I'll print everything out on Thursday morning, so please leave your message before then.

Thanks y'all and God bless ...

Sorry for your loss Austen, thinking about you up here! - Gates aka Aaron.

Sorry for your loss Austen, He'll be racing with the legends in heaven from now on.

I'm very sorry for your loss little brother. Although I know it's no consolation I think we can all agree that Scott went out doing what he loved. From what Austen told me, Scott had never looked better than he did last night. Austen you have been great in everything you do and I have no doubt that you will be great at taking care of your family from here forward. Love and prayers to you and your family. God Speed.

Deepest Sympathy from the BW household to the ENTIRE Semmelmann family.

Austen, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad, These are tough times for you and your family. I know that you have the racer blood in you and Im not talking about this game. I know you will focus on the important things you will need to do from this day forward. If i don't ever see you again in DTR2 I want you to know I respect you for your dedication and hard work you have done over the years to be the winner that you are. God bless you man. ...Doit 5

Stay strong Wheel. Your in my thoughts and prayers

Wheel, music is the only way I can get through hard times. Music and friends and family.Urmily. Here is a song by Keith Urban written for his Dad. Take care brother.

Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself
Acting the very same way

I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go
And when I look in the mirror he's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize

The older I get the more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be

In everything he ever did he always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have

The older I get the more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

He's in my eyes my heart, my soul
My hands, my pride and when I feel alone
And I think I can't go on I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright
Everything is gonna be alright" Yes it is

The older I get the more I can see
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see, oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see a little more of my father in me
A little more of my father in me

I hope everyday I see in me
In me, in me
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
