It's not easy, but the thoughts of the early days of big-time stock car racing before it became what it is today come to the forefront of my recollections.

I worked at the GE facility near the Daytona speedway and watched many races at Daytona during the 1960/70 period. Fred was always my favorite driver. RIP Fred.

Hello my name is Patrick and I'm just texting to say rest in peace Fred
