Dang, I am also speechless. Watched as a kid, him running in the Sportsman class, then Late Models. My Dad, Dick Schutte, Merrill, and I went to an Ohio Sprint Speedweek show at Millstream when I was a kid too. A fun guy to be around and a good race car driver! He will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with his family!

Words cannot describe my feelings right now. Numb is the closest I can come up with. One of my close friends that I always appreciated spending time with. Lately when we talked he would catch me up on Indiana goings on. We all have friends and then there are those friends that really have a special place. "Cooter" I will miss your texts, e-mails and phone calls.
