LAKEMOOR – Dave York will tell you a story, and he thinks it's a good one. He just needs time to know for sure.

A couple months ago, on separate occasions in the span of a workday, York met 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and a couple representatives from a racing team in the American Le Mans Series. Since York's niche includes doing auto painting and body work for high-end race cars, these were two huge contacts.

After work, the owner of the one-man shop KDX Autopainting went home to his wife and three kids. The kids wanted to go get Slurpees from 7-eleven – a family thing the Yorks do together from time-to-time.
