The second inductee into the 2016 Coles County Dragway USA hall of
fame would have to be right up there on the list of most times
traveled across that famed bridge at the bottom of the hill......
the job titles, duties, and names that this person has had over the
years is endless and has touched nearly every single person in this
room......mother, grandmother, wife, racer, our chaplain but that
just doesn’t do justice to the impact she has had on so many at
CCD..... most of you know her from being the hand you needed, or
the shoulder to lean on....... A few years back, she was handing
out the hurtin' as well as a racer, but even though just as
competitive as anyone, her good nature always made it tough to hold
a loss against her...... and while she did give racers fits when
she was competing, she has guided many of us through some of the
most troubling times of our life with kindness, wisdom, and
prayer...... using her words, in Jesus name we pray, Amen, and God
Bless America, Amen...... 2016 Hall of Fame inductee, Miss Jackie
