My thoughts and prayers are with Carl's family. I have lost a close and dear friend, fellow racing competitor, mechanic and mentor. At times, he was like a father to me. We shared a lot of good times and some bad ones too. We ask all the racing community to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. He will be deeply, deeply missed.
