I meant this post to be funny and sarcastic at the same time. So however you choose to edit your post is fine. And my last name has been absolutely murdered in the past as well.
Maybe I am too anal about it, but it seems to me, if you have a guy (or girl, for that matter) leading the points at your track, racing there weekly, or has been a staple at your race track for DECADES, you should at least be courteous enough to spell the name correctly. (Even more so when you are friends with the guy on social media, and can see his name there, or simply look at the roof of the race car!)
Perfect example: Did you know Stu Sheppard was wheeling the 92s at Woodhull Wednesday night? Me, either, but that's what the announcer called him...
