With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. Psalms 46:1 says: God is for us a refuge and strength during this difficult time and May God grant you the comfort to endure.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
One of my first racing heroes when he was driving Pontiacs. Saw him win at Richmond on dirt in 1964.
Way overdue for the Hall of Fame. He and Pearson both should have gone in on the first class. I am so sorry he didn't live to enjoy the HOF induction.
My condolences to the family. May your fond memories bring you peace as well as the comfort that our heavenly father gives.
Mr. Owens you deserve a standing ovation.
Rest in Peace.
What a great role model - as a wonderful family man first and then as a "racer." I hope many of today's troubled drivers take a close look at what it takes to live a full, happy life: Respect and love...Job well done, Cotton, for being an original "business model" worth aspiring to.
May God provide strength and comfort for his family and close friends. Oh Lord, hear my prayer.
As A young boy in the 50s I watched Cotton race at small dirt tracks. Hendersonville Waynesville and many other. I am sadden by NASCAR'S loss. A great car builder. Sara many years ago we worked together at St Joseph Hospital. Do you remember the red Fordn Talladega My prays are with you and your family.
My sincere sympathies to the Owens family.
Great memories of watching Cotten Owens at Strawberry Hill...now Richmond International Raceway...back in the day! He'll always be one of the greatest race car drivers. Sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the family.
