One of my favorite racers and friends was Roy Tyner. Race car driver, product rep, show car driver and just plain good guy, all describe Roy. I still remember the look on his face when I gave him that model of the little coupe he drove to eleven wins in eleven starts to close down his local track due to low ticket sales. Everybody knew who was gonna win and just quit coming.
And I'll bet his son Truett remembers the look on my face when he told me that the Pontiac patch his dad had just given me was almost the only thing left of his dad's racing days because an ex or soon to be ex-wife had piled everything else out back and burned it while he was gone.
He was so proud that the high priced marketing types came up with what they considered the best color scheme for the new Budweiser team cars and it was exactly the same one he came up with for his Pepsi car many years before.
I know the question is being considered, "Luke, don't you have any heroes that are livin'?" Well I do, but the list keeps getting shorter and shorter as the years go by
