We only met Kenny 3 or 4 times when he came to race midgets at Mighty Macon Speedway and USAC Silver Crown cars at The Springfield Mile. We well remember him starting dead last in the Tony Bettenhausen Memorial 100, wading through the field to the front and winning it going away. That was in 1995, I believe.

He shot the bull with us on those few occasions that he had a few minutes to chat as if he had known us from childhood. It truly was shockingly sad when we learned of his untimely passing and the thought of him being gone is saddening to this day.

One of our most prized articles of racing memorabilia is the card showing him standing next to the #9 Lewis midget that he autographed for us at Macon.
