Thought and prayers to buck's family . A true great , seen him race from child hood hero since 1969 ; remember me and my dad listening to atlanta 500 and talledaga on radio in car under shade tree just to see how buck did running nascar cup race.
Found out last night there already was in process of restoring buck's john deere super late model he drove in his later days before retiring. Believe it will be in georgia dirt hall of fame in dawsonville when complete . This is a premature of me the put out there since i don't know when the car will be inshrined but they are in the process . Just figured fans would wan to know even if it's next before it gets there.
I too have watch Buck from the time he started out at around 12 years old. No doubt about it one of the best who ever raced on a Dirt Track. Thoughts and Prayers to the friends and family of Buck. The Dirt Track Community has lost one of the biggest legends in the sport.
