On Memorial Day weekend, while most of us were barbequing and watching the Indy 500, an event occured which we have anticipated for almost two years: Brian Kinwald returned to the drivers' stand. In July of 2005, the illness from which Brian has suffered since he was a teenager took a turn for the worst, and Brian was forced to return home in the middle of the Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout. Until last Monday, he had been unable to touch his transmitter. |

In November of last year Brian found new doctors and has begun a new treatment
program which is paying big dividends. Brian climbed back up on the stand during a private X Factory test session
over Memorial Day weekend. It was great to see the world's most famous paint scheme flying around the track once again.
While it is clear that Brian is rusty, the big smile on his face is all that we needed to see. |

 Frank and Paul both watch as Brian shows that he still has it! |

So long as Brian's health continues to improve, he expectes to begin driving
regularly again. He will not make his race debut immediately, but Brian hopes to return to the races sometime in 2007. |
