It was fifteen years ago today that we lost a great sprint car driver and a really nice young man.
I've been chasing sprint car racing for almost fifty years and I've been fortunate to have watched
a lot of wonderfully talented sprint car drivers. Foyt, Parnelli, Vogler, Branson, McCluskey, Bigelow, Pancho, Rollie, Stewart, et al.......Robbie was as good as any of them. I'm reminded of Eric Gordon's comment back then when he opined that few in the '94 Indy 500 field could carry Robbie's helmet bag.

Almost gave up on racing after that night at Winchester. I recall the next evening at IFG when a
fellow asked me if I knew how Robbie was doing and the grapefruit sized lump in my throat when I
had to inform him that Robbie didn't make it.

I believe it might have been Bill Rose who came up with the "No Regrets" decals with respect to
Robbie Stanley. That thought helped me deal with the loss and I carry that decal on my truck
to this day.

R.I.P. Robbie Stanley
