Sad News, RIP Bill Hopton
 

Former promoter at Terre Haute Action Track and Lincoln Park Speedway, Bill Hopton passed away this morning. Bill was still a race fan and I remember seeing him at Terre Haute earlier this year. I can also remember that he owned a sprint car or two and I think Brian Hayden drove for him at some point. Bill was also a big supporter of Indiana State University Athletics. He will be missed by many. His entire family is in my prayers.

(If any above information is slightly off, I apologize. I did not meet Bill and Family until after his promoting days were over.)

RIP bill. I met bill last year at THAT while getting ready for the season. I also work with his ddaughter in law at my f/t job.

Funny enough the discussion of lights at Terre Haute came up on another thread and it was Bill that spearheaded that effort - he really got the community involved when T.H. was revitalized -- a good man.

I met Bill back in 1995 at the THAT. He was a true fan of racing and genuinely wanted to make people happy that came to his tracks. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
