Re: Rip petey
 

What a horrible horrible day .........

Re: Rip petey
 

Are you talking about Corey Martin from Missouri?

Re: Rip petey
 

Yes, its on his FACEBOOK account, it's very sad..

Re: Rip petey
 

Since not all of us are on facebook, can you please update us also.

Re: Rip petey
 

Very, very sad... does anyone know what happened?

Re: Rip petey
 

I think mostly his family and old school friends and co workers know but they haven't said anything yet..Not to many racing friends must even know.

Re: Rip petey
 

Dammitman, Unbelievable news. Very sad.

Re: Rip petey
 

BOWTIE, it leaves a real bad feeling right in your gut..

Re: Rip petey
 

That's just terrible news. I really liked that guy. Not only was he a good man, but he was really racing smart and you always found something out you didn't know already, when you talked to Petey.:13:

This is a tough one, RIP Petey:13:

Re: Rip petey
 

Shocked to hear this news... Since I haven't made it to many races this year I hadn't seen him in some time... RIP Buddy, :22:

Re: Rip petey
 

R.I.P., man. Condolences to all family and the many friends he made.

Re: Rip petey
 

WOW, He really liked to talk to people & he was like Will Rogers in a way. Probably didn't meet very many he didn't like. He bought a couple of Khane midgets from me that were signed & kinda give me hell because I didn't tell him they were signed. Met him at the Mopar Million & sat with him at 2004 Nats. R.I.P. Corey.

Re: Rip petey
 

Very sad news to wake up to. I first met Petey at 67 Raceway Park for the SCRA race there. Must have been 2003 I think. Seen him at many other places as well since then. My condolences to his family. RIP Petey.....

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers to all his loved ones.. rip petey

Wow what a shocker , RIP Petey . From your CA. friends . Bob and Monica .

Re: Rip petey
 

That is just absolute shocking news. I just talked to Corey at Du Quoin. I hadn’t seen him in a while so we had a nice chat. Sure didn’t think that would be the last time I would see him. Glad I ran into him. I met him a few years back. A group of us would pick a day to all meet at a bar during the Chili Bowl and Corey was one of the people. Really sad. I’ll be sure to toast one to him at a racetrack very soon. RIP Petey.

Re: Rip petey
 

I'm in total shock reading this, this morning. I too just talked with Corey and his dad at DuQuoin last weekend. He was upbeat as usual as we talked about the nights events and the upcoming Gold Crown at Granite City.
He was a neat guy, a good friend and one hell of a race fan.
Thoughts and prayers to his dad Ron and the rest of the family.

Godspeed Buddy.

Re: Rip petey

You never know when God is gonna call you home...God's speed Corey..:13:

Re: Rip petey
 

Very sad news, Rest in peace Corey.

Re: Rip petey
 

WOW tough one to take here

Have known Petey for years but really got to know him during Midget Week this year. We hung out together all week. Made Midget Week even more special for me now.

Just a great person

RIP my friend :13:

Re: Rip petey
 

R.I.P. I am very sorry and am praying for his loved ones. :13:

Re: Rip petey
 

We never really know what is in store for us daily. A very difficult thing to hear for such a positive person. I met Corey at DuQuoin a couple of years ago at a early spring race at the Mini Mile. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.:13: RIP.

Rest in peace Corey.You will be missed.

Re: Rip petey
 

The last time I was fortunate to see Petey was earlier this year at Tri-state, always a wonderful friend, great fan, and loved when he could make his way up this way for a race, two, or five.

This is really hard news, an awful loss for our community, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, and many thanks for all the years of friendship and support.

RIP my friend.

Re: Rip petey
 

What a shock to read this morning. I had only had a couple of brief "howdies" with Petey, but he was definitely a guy I had hoped to get together with one day soon to get to know better and for much longer chat/chats. Now that will have to wait for awhile.

R.I.P. Corey. :13:
