For racers across Florida, at one time or another, most have raced at Orlando Speed World and New Smyrna Speedway. And if it has been in the last seven years, everyone knows the name Tammy Bratcher. Tammy has been one of the stables of both FASCAR tracks.

After seven years and countless time and effort, Tammy is leaving FASCAR and plotting a new future with Race Day Water. But no one, not fellow employees, racers, fans, and friends, will forget how much Tammy Bratcher did for local track racing. Tammy has always given more than she received because she loved racing and the guys who did it. When there was a problem, Tammy was the first one to be picked on and more than once have I seen tears from her sweet eyes.

Everyone at Orlando SpeedWorld and New Smyrna Speedway will miss Tammy but I am sure that at times she will still come around because her heart is deeply planted in the local track world of stock car racing.

For those of us who love Tammy and appreciate her for being the person that she is and always will be, we will miss you. But this is not goodbye because there are no goodbyes in racing only 'see ya at the track'. GOOD LUCK TAMMY and YOU DID A GREAT JOB AND YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE LOVED.
