I'm really saddened to hear that. He was a great guy and a real down to earth person. A big loss for NASCAR and the fans.

Great shot. Did you realize you got 2 legends in one shot (walking by in the backround)?

One of the great Nascar legends and probably the best announcer as far as I am concerned!
