I knew it was pretty serious by a few post I had seen elsewhere, but without confirmation from family I wasn't going to spread anything.

That being said, I'm truly saddened by his loss. Spent more than a few hours in the Clauson Camp prior to races and at a few Frolics including him and his after and of course a big howdy at every track we were at together..

Lastly I'm most saddened for the family. A class act, top to bottom. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Going to hoist a Bud in Bob's honor tonight.

RIP Bob. Bob's love of racing had a profound effect on the sport when he passed it on. Thoughts with Monica, Tim and the rest of the family, and his many friends.

So sad to see this. It won't be the same to pull into most any sprint race and not see the Discovery already sitting there. Prayers for Monica, Tim, and all family.

RIP Bob. You did what many of us just dream of, living your life the way you wanted to, on your own terms. You will be missed by so many. My prayers to Monica and the whole family.
