Yes, I am related to a famous Samurai who's family lived during the 1400s, Japan. There's a family crest, 'Kamon", that my mother's side carries. It's unique and can be traced back in time based on the design of that crest.

I don't know why this reminded me, but I'm related to Annie Oakley too on my dad's side. I was thinking about people still alive. LOL.

Will he be crew chief for Ryan Newman? I love Trevor Bayne but hadn't kept up on news with what would be going on with his team. I assumed it would all go to his replacement. I know Matt Kenseth was in that ride a lot of last year too and I love him too. So I'm impressed.

I really don’t know.  Unfortunately, he was never crew chief for my favorite driver, Jimmie Johnson.  My DH and I like Trevor Bayne and Chase Elliott (we liked him even before he did so well in 2018 season)

Oh my gosh, I'm related to two famous people.  Charlie Barnet, the 1940's bandleader and musician on my father's side and Ben Stiller on my mother's side. Charlie Barnet was quite the character I was told, married 10 or11 times.
