Doug was the first racer I remember cheering for. Also being from Allentown, PA like Doug he was my hometown hero. My older sister loved Billy Pauch so I naturally had to cheer against him. Even as a teenager I was in awe when I got to hang out at his shop and he let me sit in one of his cars. My room was like a shrine to him with photos and models of his cars top to bottom. I even painted my rc cars to resemble his. I felt "unbeatable" when I was in one of Doug's cars. From his beginnings at Dorney Park to Syracuse, from Flemington to Volusia I'm glad I got to see a few wins. I'll miss him. Another hero gone. RIP 60 over.
