Just saw where Kenny Rogers passed away at the age of 81. He owned the gambler house car on the world of outlaws years ago.

RIP Brewster Baker. Six Pack was one of the first VHS movies I saw.

Easily one of my favorite singers.
Very thankful I had the chance to see Kenny Rogers in concert

To describe Kenny's music in one word was an easy one for me. Timeless

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

If I remember correctly, the owner of gambler chassis was Kenny Rodgers manager or booking agent. That was why it was in the Nashville area.

C. K. Spurlock bore a resemblance to Kenny Rogers and that was sometimes helpful in allowing Kenny to evade fans after concerts.

"And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even."
RIP Kenny. So sad

....and don't forget his restaurant chain.


A slight amount of protest was displayed during that period.....

Chiming in live from the West Coast of Michigan.... Mike
