Kenny Schrader saw Bobby last week as he had agreed to drive the Fastenal truck this year. I wonder if Bobby knew things were close and wanted to assure that things would go on........Kenny was the right guy, a real racer's racer.

These guys who are dying now of illnesses and all are a bit odd. Don't get me wrong, I hate to see them go, especially a guy so young as Hamilton. But when I was growing up in the 50's and early 60's, my heros were dying on the tracks every week! Cancer is no better but somehow its nice to know that the safety is such today that guys can live long enough to worry about cancer!

That sounds terrible doesn't it? Well, if you know how Tony Bettenhausen or Fireball Roberts or Eddie Sachs or Art Malone or Bill Vukovich, etc. died, then you know what I mean.
