My Son, Kerry Dennis was a good friend of Del's. They met when they both worked at the Dealership years ago, and have been close buddies ever since. They shared the love of racing and much more. We both want to send our sincere Condolences to his entire family. I met Del at the races two years ago and he was so friendly and had a wonderful smile. Kerry is taking the news very hard and will miss his buddy.
