We did a missing man for the Rocket tonight at Dallas County Speedway in Urbana Missouri before the green of the Ozark Mountain Midget feature. Jesse's buddys Matt Fox and Richard Kreisel ran 1st and 2nd and donated their winnings to the family. The track also donated their share of the 50/50 pot to the family and the 50/50 winner donated some of his winnings as well.
DCS in Urbana was the site of Jesse's first feature win in a class of 4 cylinder sprint cars back in 1998 or so. Jesse ran alot of laps around that joint and although he never competed with the Ozark Mountain Midgets we were truly honored to pay tribute to him.
As a good friend of mine said the other night... "Jesse may not have been the greatest i ever watched....BUT HE WAS DAMN SURE GONNA BE!!!!"
Rest in Peace man.
