Robbie passed my car for the final transfer spot into that feature on the last lap of the B. I always wished we could have beat him for that spot.
A few years ago I was working at a drive in estimating center and saw a Robbie Stanley "No Regrets" sticker on a Cadillac. I asked the man about it and he was a relative. The sticker was in bad shape so I made some more and took them to where the man worked. He has a lifetime supply. I also made about a hundred of them and gave them to Lauren Besecker when she was working with Lawrenceburg. They were supposed to get passed out at the Robbie Stanley Memorial, but it rained out. Don't know if they are still out there somewhere or not.
I sure do miss him.
Got one of them stickers from Lauren and its still on the side of the POS race van. RIP Robbie
