The Anderson Herald-Bulletin said that he was 50 years old. Way too young to be taken from us.:crying: Thoughts and prayers for his family, friends and speedway co-workers. It made a very exciting race a rather somber event.

I also saw it and that memory will be etched in my mind forever. As Billy said, if you are a track worker NEVER turn your back to the oncoming traffic. Even under yellow flag conditions, danger is always present.
