There are moments in life you hear about but cannot fully understand until you live them. Becoming a dad is one of those moments.
Welcoming our son into the world has already been better than anything I imagined.

Our son, Drake Preston Smith, arrived on March 12, 2026, at 5:36 AM💙 It’s been a whirlwind the last few days, but we appreciate all the prayers and support. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and feel incredibly blessed. God is so good🙏🏽 @ChadPSmith_

@taylorreimerr @2nd_jenn Taylor, this person has 0 followers… Most people know what you meant. Go get’em girl! BOOMER!!

@2nd_jenn Wrong. I used being a cheerleader as an example of where I learned the importance of reputation.
English

I’ve contemplated whether or not to speak on this, but my heart is telling me I should.
I’m going to start off by saying I am by no means perfect. Nobody is. I got back into racing 5 years ago and since then I have learned a lot and I’m still learning everyday.
With that being said, as a woman in motorsports, I feel it’s my responsibility to be a role model for young and upcoming women in this sport. I was a Division I cheerleader in college, and my job was to represent the University at the highest level. Every move you make someone is watching. On and off the field. The same applies in racing. People are always watching: sponsors, teams, fans, and kids.
I work hard every day to earn respect in this sport. The only way that happens is through on track performance and that’s my main focus. I look forward to the day when a female driver in racing isn’t different, it’s expected.
I understand how difficult it is to secure sponsorship in this sport. I’m fully funded based on the partners I bring in each year. It’s a grind and I know many others are in the same position. I made a promise to myself that I would do it the right way. In 10 years I want to look back and be proud of how I carried myself and hope that I inspired young girls along the way, even if that means I don’t make it as far in the sport as I hope I do.
This is not to bring hate to anyone but rather to speak on a topic that is important to me. Please be kind. ♥️

@markmartin The first memory of NASCAR for me was a pic of the Wood Brothers Ford on the cover of a magazine when I was sitting in English class in HS.
English

I was in the grandstands right at the start/finish I will never forget that moment.

David Pearson won the 1976 Daytona 500 fifty years ago today. 🏁 One of the greatest finishes in NASCAR history. #TheSilverFox 🏁 #WoodBrothersRacing

@OKCTESooner @Tony_Tip47 @Bdrumm_Rivals He was a transfer if I remember correctly. That has been awhile.
English

@Bdrumm_Rivals Have we had a 1000 yard rusher since he has been here? We have had lots of talented misses.

@MBrooks02 Oh yeah. One of my hero’s in the pedal steel world. What ya got?

@mblackwell Wait. What if Moser would get 2-3 times the NIL ? Like comparing apples to oranges.
English

If the next #Sooners men's basketball coach doesn't get AT LEAST 2x to 3x the NIL investment that Moser has gotten during his tenure then we'll be having another coaching search in a few years.

1971 Oklahoma Recruiting Class
62 total additions to the roster
(including high-school recruits, transfers, and walk-ons): Here is the total of Recruits by States:
36 players — Oklahoma
20 players — Texas
2 — California
2 — Colorado
1 — Iowa
1 — Wisconsin
I found this nugget amazing :
Tulsa Memorial HS produced 6 players in the Sooners 1971 class — the most from one High School in one recruiting Class in modern OU history.
The only High School to send more Recruits to Oklahoma than Memorial High School in a single recruiting class occurred back in 1918, when 7 players came from Oklahoma City Central High School to play for the Sooners. @OU_Football @IWasAtTheGame @jhale24 @SoonerScoop

@MBrooks02 Great times. Those teams were always in contention for National Championships.
