Wow I really can't belive Bill is gone.I just last talked to him at the usac show at terre haute and he was all smiles like always was since the first day I met him.I used to go to lps every sat. night because he always made us feel like we were at home.I remember the year I was working for Eric Shively after the races were over a few of us would stay and have a few cold pops after the race was over also including joe roush aj anderson and a few others. Bill would come by give me the keys and told me to lock the gate when we left.He always said we could stay in the house up front.It was always stocked with food and blankets.We stayed there many times.My final quote is to Mr.Bill Hopton THANKS for everthing you did for all the racers and the fans YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!
