Before we went racing, we dove the car on the trailer past the window of his house, so he could look at it. We went to Wayne County that night. After the races, we stopped at the car wash and the local police stopped by to tell me that I should go home, that there was an emergency. I left the crew with the car and rushed home to find out that Jack passed away that evening. Was real tough.
Life is too short.
Right now Lee s life is pretty much racing, 24-7. Inc. I got to a point where at work I found myself in a position that I wasn t happy with, explained Lee. I wasn t happy with the way things were going. And he was working with Bert Transmission to set up a distribution center and John told me he needed me to come on board and help. I had to think about it.
