DJ was 23 years old. I will miss him so much. This is a very hard time for the Vogler family and friends. Those who knew him knew he loved racing and all he ever wanted was to follow in his dad's footsteps. Missing you DJ Teri

Words cannot express how I feel this morning. The sorrow we all feel for Eleanor as God puts her through another test. She is a special person who never stops moving in her quest to keep her projects going. The work she has done on the Rich Vogler Scholarship is nothing short of amazing.
Eleanor, you are in my prayers, and my life is better for spending time with you and your family.

My most sincere condolences to Elanor, Emily and the whole Vogler family. I did not know him personally, but if he was anything like his dad, then he was one hell of a fantastic young man.

I remember him as a little tike running around and having fun at all the different speedways.

God bless him.:crying:
