You were a joy to watch on the track, and a gem to have as a friend off.
GodSpeed, Kenny, we miss you.

Eight years - it doesn't seem that long ago.
I loved watching Kenny race at IRP. He was one of the best. Sadly missed, and fondly remembered...
What a good guy he was. I miss watching him race.

hour of the day, and when I sleep, too. Everything I
ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway."

Before working with Kenny, I always enjoyed watching him drive an SC car. It always seemed like the madder he got , the better he drove. He could push the gas with the best of 'em.
I worked with him while he was driving for the Jarrett/Favre busch series team. Nice guy, a bit quiet until you got to know him.
The fall race at RIR in 1999 was the last time I saw him.
A dozen years ago...still think of Kenny when I go to IRP. Ah, what might have been...rest well, dear racer.

Aloha All,,,
I now think more of Kenny's family, his Mom and
Dad, and all they did for Kenny... I can only hope
they are doing OK... What's the alternative, there
is none.... I know they will never fully recover,
but I hope they are at least, doing OK... I also
think a lot about Rich Vogler's Mom Eleanor, what
a strong woman... The, Petty's, what a loss,,,,
Taylor Nicole, and Dale Jr, what a loss,,,

It is a very dark sport at times, maybe I am little
more melancholy today, as I watched "Dale Earnhardt
The Day" just last night ... I watch that at lease once
a year... Same with "3" and "Dale"... I was a huge Dale
fan, way before it was "popular" to be a Dale Fan... His
life, great lesson, he learned to be a great human being,
had a great heart, very giving man... Love'd his Dad,
love'd his Kid's, love'd his wife,,, love'd his fans,,,,
Great Men,,,
Big
PS: I am very hard on Micky and Jaws, for their TV junk,
and over all, "phoniness".... But, I was also a huge Jaw's
fan, before that was popular... Jaw's,,, A Great Driver,
and he has a great wife... After watching "The Day"
again, I am still not so sure of the Waltrip's, sincerity,
but really, it's not for me to judge...
Yes,,, Yes,,, Tony,,,
