I just found this legacy page and I know it's been several years since Kenny passed. I just wanted to say what a hero he was to my family and I... My cousin Jimmy and I would come to New Milford to visit him at his shop. He was always so great with his fans. We were a diehard bunch. Kenny and that track were all that mattered on the weekend's. I have never had a better time in my life. Thank you Kenny and the Webb family for being such a great influence in our lives.

I think he was one of the greatest drivers of all time. On the track, he had amazing abilities, but that is not what made him the greatest driver whom I ever knew. It was his incredible attitude that I remember-- On and off the track. Kenny raced with the brains that knew how and when to make a move, and more importantly, when not to make a move. This inherit sense made him win and finish those races where the average "great" racer would not. I listen on TV about those drivers who race hard every lap and push their cars to the limit. That was NOT Kenny Webb. Those drivers whom the TV announcers love to glorify don't finish many of the races they could have if they only used the brains that God gave them. Kenny did just that. He used his brains and always calculated exactly what he was going to do, and had a good idea of the outcome before doing it. This is not to say that Kenny didn't race hard, and get down and dirty when he needed to. The black #2 "deuce" was often booed by the crowd for knocking someone out of his way. Usually when he did it, he wasn't involved and somehow had a good innocent reason for that move to the officials. Yes, Kenny knew how to race on the track.

My first memories of auto racing are from Danbury and since Kenny was from Golden's Bridge he became a family favorite. My brother and I spent many a Friday night at the house helping Kenny get ready for the next night of racing. And what good racing it was back then. My condolences to Barbara and family. Kenny will be missed by all who attended the Danbury Fair Races.

What can you say about Kenny Webb? Well he was one of the best drivers I have ever seen. I can see him right now battling LaJoie Smith Foshay etc. I got to meet him at the reunion what a class act he was. Thanks for the memories Ken it would not have been as good without you.

Kenny had a heart made of gold. When I was a little girl Kenny treated me like one of his grand children. He had a never ending stash of ice pops for David and I. I remember running to the backyard when he got home and we would get an ice pop (or two) and he always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, I know I will never forget him.

Rest in Peace Kenny, you'll be missed by all that remember the Danbury Racearena. I knew Kenny as an honest business man and a friend. A friend and I just discovered some very early photo graphs of some racers from Mt. Kisco and Somers, the fond memories we both had.
