Remember Paul's car when Louie Mann drove it. He drove a truck with my Dad and he would always wave to us during wheel packing.

Great story Brent! Does anybody else have their favorite Paul Hazen story or drivers that drove for Paul Hazen?

I’ve got my pictures of Paul Hazen’s past drivers who are unfortunately not with us still, thanks to John Mahoney and Jim Fisher! Still working on getting Jim Elliott and Richard Jackson photos, if anyone has them please let me know. Come see past drivers for Hazen Friday the 19th at the Kokomo Speedway from 4:30-5!

Make sure to get there for the autograph session and great racing to follow.

Remember the Speedway does not mess around getting the show in so you can get on the road home at a early hour.

Thank you all in advance for the support you have shown Josh, Shannon and the entire staff at the Kokomo Speedway.

Yes he did, unfortunately at the time he was unavailable to come because he was going on vacation. I talked to him last night at Jim Lipkey’s viewing and he was going to try to make it! I called every person on the list that Kevin Oldham gave me, but two because I couldn’t find their correct contact information. These are the drivers who could/maybe make it. Hope this helps and hopefully more show up! Hope to see you there and have a great day!

Slight chance for rain but moving past really fast, in my opinion we are good to get this show in.

Josh and Shannon have worked their butts of this year and tonight is no different as they have done a great job rounding up a great group to honor Paul and his drivers.

Make sure you thank the Speedway staff and if you think about it give a shout out to Josh and Shannon for all the hard work they have put into this deal.

See you all tonight

Tell em you love em while you can.

Re: Paul Hazen, Honored at Klash!

Leaving for the track now, dress warm and lets race.

Please come and honor Paul Hazen from 4:30 to 5:00 today at the Kokomo Speedway.

Josh and Shannon really have put a lot into this so lets show up and help honor Paul and the people that have driven for Paul.

Rocky Hodges never drove for Paul but will be at the track tonight to talk and sign autographs also.

Lets do this.
