Boyds speedway FB just posted the passing of John Jones, always loved watching him race, he will be missed by many...God bless you John.

Does anyone know what happened? He was such a great guy to me every time I met him

[GotDirt1313]

It didn't give any details on what happened, & I can understand, the family may not want it public yet. I'm sure at some point it will be released..

[crownman25]

I know he was on oxygen and having breathing problems ... and some other problems as well thats from a close friend of his that was on his crew I talked to his friend a week or so and he told me he was not doing good...

I saw him race many times.

RIP J1

r.i.p. john jones j1 watched him every since he drove that 88 car chevy 2 at boyds he was a heck of a wheel man always had time for the fans after the race

[CarolinaDirt]

He was one of my favorite drivers as a kid , his car was the first late models I ever saw 3 wheeling . RIP J1

JJ Sideways. He was a gentle giant of a mine with one more heavy right foot. The guy was always a threat to win when he lined up. One of the nicest guys in the pit area. I have fond memories of him and his J1 machines. RIP JJ.

As good a guy in the pits as there was. Hard to believe he's gone. Even though I had family and friends competing against him, never left the track unhappy if the j1 was in victory lane. He'll be missed.

[racer115]

had a lot of good races with john. always a hard clean racer. RIP JJ

The race I remember the most with JJ was at the Ice Bowl one year, the feature is always one lane around the bottom, but on this particular day, he and Mike Head put on a show like no other, they raced side by side for I don't know how long, seemed like at least half the race, Mike Head ended up winning, but he sure earned it, John Jones made sure he earned it, one of the best races I've ever seen.

John was always a crowd pleaser

[SMARTT]

first guy I ever saw 3 wheel a racecar @ Winchester Speedway TN.

[crownman25]

What about the Bama bash when he beat bloomquist 3 wheelin.. JOHN COULD DRIVE THE HELL OUT OF A GRT WITH A STRAIGHT BAR P BAR..

[GRT32]

John could drive anything anywhere at anytime. Always exciting and a factor to win by the time the race was over. He use to race at cleveland and load up haul azz to nga start in the rear and by the time the race was over he was up front.

First memory of John was in the Windy Williford #88 chevy 2. This was late 70's in the B class. Great driver and very friendly to the fans. RIP Big John
