During the summer months Howie spends his time at the race track. Taking pictures of his fellow stock racing teams. In the summer 2011 Howie was hit by a race car at 100mph while taking pictures. He then had a very long road ahead of him to recovery. After several months of therapy and hard work Howie is a walking Miracle. In October of 2011 Howie was able to experience a NASCAR Race at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville Virginia. Howie also spends his time volunteering with Jamie’s Dream Team.
