The first time that I ever talked to Jesse Hockett, he walked up to me and said you must be a great mechanic because everything that you work on is fast. I told him that I would be a whole lot better if he would drive my car and he told me that maybe one day we can get together. I'll never forget those words. I've been very fortunate to have some of the greatest sprint car drivers in my cars and as my best friends and this is one of my saddest days. Jesse was a true outlaw traveler and will always be one of my heroes. I wish I could have gotten a shot with "The Rocket" just once. He will be greatly missed. Mike Dutcher #37 Indiana Underground.
