The sprint car race that bgbrd mentioned was the labor day 50 lap special. Robert blew by me with around 10 to go I remember running second and wondering where in the world he came from because he started deep in the field. But I was happy for them because they were great people. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Robert always said that some even thought he was a lap car. He also said that the engine was way underpowered and it really help him stay on the throttle.
