To the Jenkins family...
Thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Although I don't really remember Herschel from his driving days, I heard alot of great stories about him.
I remember Herschel most as a car owner. I cheered for his cars for years when I was a young girl. He always fielded competitive cars no matter who was driving them.
May Herschel rest in peace.

I remember going to Macon for years as some of family raced there. I met Hershel and Wife there through my brother Skip. It was so exciting to have favorites and Hershel was one of those to my family and lots of others.
I saw him and wife at Gabbys when I would go with Skip and Family. I never forgor who he was. They were friendly folks. He will be greatly missed and I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
