Actually, you are partially right. Doc was killed in the car that formerly belonged to my Dad, Mack Clingan. Dad sold the race team at the end of the prior season and Doc went with the new owner. Doc always wanted to race at Springfield but Dad never would take the team there. Doc's death is still the subject of controversy. My Dad knew that the new owners would not take extra care to make sure the car was safe and it wasn't. I miss Doc and remember him well.
