"Goodbye everyone"- Kenny Myatt

Kenny Myatt's press release wrote:
Well it's happening again. I am announcing my retirement from the series effective at Port Skyline. However, this time I mean it. I came back last time because I felt like I wasn't done yet. I still had business to prove out there. Now, I feel as if ARCSOA is starting to pass me by. In the past, I have always felt as if I could keep up with the evolution of ARCSOA. I know I have done better than Noah, Nick, or Jacob. However, the series has grown so much since the start, that I believe ARCSOA can embark on it's 25th season without me on the grid. 

The names of Greg Brown, Randy Carpenter, Jacob Hart, Nick Mace, Ryan Griffin, and Kenny Myatt are slowly becoming names in the history of ARCSOA. The fans have their own drivers to cheer for. Names like Chris Dodd, Nick Pericles, Scott Roush, Bobby Jones, and even my own daughter. I have realized this, and fully embrace the fact that the series that I love so much has grown enough that it isn't inherently connected to the things of the past. 

I was around with ARCSOA since the series birth. I was around for the troublesome times following the inaugural season. When Noah, Nick, Jacob, and I, all were wondering if Stock Car racing was dead in the United States. I have seen many different faces come across my path in this life. I met my wife through my involvement in this series. 

I have seen my daughter go on to win an ARCSOA championship of her own. When she was sitting next to me in the ARCSOA champions photo in Port Skyline, I felt happier then the three times I was the one hoisting the trophy. I knew then that 24 was going to be enough.

I never imagined the amount of growth this series would see in 24 years. To see it go from a grassroots "fun" series, to a cooperate money making machine really is telling. ARCSOA has grown so much, and I love it. However, it's time for me to make my move set. Port Skyline will be my last race in my ARCSOA career. Then Alex, Ryan, myself, and anyone else who might retire at the end of the year, can enjoy a nice beverage after the race, and begin our retirement.
