    A real champ

    I'd like to send out a public thank you and congratulations to Mike Patterson. Seemed a bit out of place to put this in the Jander thread...lol

    Everyone is aware that during the AI champ race there was question of whether Mike got nudged out of the lead. Post champ race Mike was a gentleman, professional, offered up his thoughts, his camera...and waited patiently. After the decision to not change the results he was totally calm, controlled...and then he volunteered to go chat with the winner at the winner's camp, then went over there and personally congratulated him. I was so worried, honestly, and Mike was simply a role model in how to receive bad news. Mike, you're a class act and the kind of driver and competitor we should all strive to be able to be.

    Great drive! It was awesome to watch. I'm sorry it didn't work out the way MP would have liked, but very proud of our guys all around!
