We learned last night at Bloomington, as Al and Loretta Pierce were packing up their lawn chairs and leaving quickly, that Tom Pierce had passed away unexpectedly. Tom was a great race fan and a great guy. I feel fortunate to have gotten to watch many races with him at LPS. He was a smart man, as I don't think I ever watched a race with Tom, that I didn't learn something. And he was a funny guy, too, with a slightly sarcastic sense of humor. And he could take it as well as he could dish it out and that says a lot about a person. So it was a big loss for local racing, especially Lincoln Park Speedway and a bigger loss for all those that knew him and were friends with him. Thoughts and prayers to Al, Loretta and the rest of Tom's family.
