Morgan’s, Tennessee – Like….
So…
Ok…
Like…
There’s this teacher at our school…
I think they teach, you know like… English or something…
Well, apparently he wins lots of dirt track races around here….
Seriously?
Yeah, like Sammy and Timmy?
Yeah, I think. He won tonight in Knoxville…
Like Dude… that’s cool has hell. Those winged go-carts?
Yeah…
Dude… That’s awesome.
Monday morning, a teacher walks into their classroom. The students look that particular teacher over and wonder what the hell happened. The shoulders showing through the sleeveless dress are bruised. The neck looks like a little too much makeup was applied. The bloodshot eyes and endless sniffles confirmed that their teacher was about to explain to them what a hangover was ala “School of Rock!”
The only thing that confused this school of thought was the hardware this teacher carried across a room of forty.
Whats that thing?
It’s a trophy I won this weekend?
Did you win a pageant this weekend Ms. Turpen?
Kinda…
Kinda?
Well, it was a pageant of speed. I won a race this weekend.
What kinda race, Ms Turpen?
Well Jonathan, I beat the sh** out of a lot of guys this weekend in one of the most dangerous races on Earth.
Ms. Turp… That’s cool…
Like Ok…
I was gonna go ahead and assume that Morgan Turpen has had this conversation more than a few times since she’s graduated Memphis with straight Aaaaaaa’s and continued her career into one of the greatest professions a human could possess.
Teaching…
But, maybe she’s unlike me… the guy whose writing this story… who likes bragging about everything!
“ I won a silver award for selling homes! I won a six lap dash! I won a poker tournament that paid for my bar tab!”
This woman literally teaches human beings on how to be the greatest human beings on Earth and then hops in a 1953
Chevy Silverado as soon as school lets out to drive 26 hours in ninety-seven minutes to beat a bunch of guys who have been trying to beat her for years.
I started out this article to write about how she might be the best female race car driver in the world right now. I was also going to brag about how Terry Gray might be the greatest teacher in sprint car racing. I was even gonna go so far as proclaiming ME the greatest sprint car writer of all time…
I don’t plan on saying I’m the greatest sprint car writer of all time.
If ya’ll want to… that’s cool though.
In the end, this story is about Morgan…
Right now, she is the greatest female race car driver in the world.
Right now, she is one of the greatest race car drivers in the world.
And right now, this writer needs to get up in a few hours to try and sell some homes so he can do a little dirt track racing of his own!
