Lost a great racer. Always enjoyed seeing the #4 unload. Overton running his paint scheme lately was a great tribute to a well know fixture in the southeast racing scene. Prayers for family and friends. RIP

Man I hate hearing that, I loved watching him rip around the Old Cherokee and Modoc speedways. I remember once back in 02' or 03' he won a day show at Toccoa Speedway without the use of the LF. About lap 10 something broke on the LF and it was just dragging like an anchor. He survived like 3 different caution restarts and kept that LF front high in the air for like 30 laps. The Gambler was never boring. There use to be a youtube video of him sailing his Barry Wright car over the turn 3 wall during qualifying on the big track Cherokee, sometime around 95', but I can't find it anymore. Its getting where there aren't many of the guys left from my era, the list just keeps getting longer as the stop watch keeps on ticking."In the Republic of Mediocrity, Genius is Dangerous." - Robert Green Ingersoll
