As a tradition established years ago, CompetitionPlus.com has asked members of the racing community to provide our readers with what they are most thankful for during this holiday season. This year's featured person is Josh Hart, driver of the R&L Carriers Top Fuel dragster. Hart recently completed his first full season in NHRA Top Fuel.. - Editor

I am THANKFUL for ... THE SUPPORT OF MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER 
I'm thankful for my wife and my daughter for being supportive of this crazy bad habit that I've got with nitromethane because if it wasn't for them being supportive, I wouldn't be able to obviously participate. 

I am THANKFUL for ... RON DOUGLAS AND THE TEAM
Definitely, grateful for Ron Douglas and the team because I call this the Game of Kings. I'm merely the guy that gets to hit the gas, the real king, the real brains of the operation are the crew chiefs. So very, very proud of that and very, very grateful that they've helped put me on the map to say the least.

I am THANKFUL for ...SPONSOR RELATIONSHIPS
Super grateful for all of the sponsors that have cooperated and stuck it out with us. You know, got R+L Carriers, TechNet, HLC Trucking, OWV Excavation, Burnyzz Speed Shop, all the people that help obviously pour money into this thing. These cars run on money, that's why I'm grateful for them.

I am THANKFUL for ... MY FELLOW TOP FUEL RACERS
Super grateful for the competition, because the long and skinny of it is, I wanted to see if I could drive against the best people in the world. And they are definitely the best, most awesome, fastest group of people in the world so very proud and very thankful for them.

I am THANKFUL for ... THE PLATFORM NHRA HAS PROVIDED
I'd have to say NHRA for allowing us the sandbox to play in. Also, very thankful for the Safety Safari people that actually run towards the fire when something goes wrong. Can't put a price tag on that.

I am THANKFUL for ... DRAG RACING MEDIA
They are our voice to the race fans and spread the gospel of drag racing to the masses. Super thankful that they keep us all informed on either side of the guardwall. 

I hope you have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
