Here is a candle for Hoss, because he was the light for his family, and anyone who knew hem. Our grandma, always said, when someone passed away, "today we are sad, but he is happy, because he is in a place where there is no pain, and no worries!" God Bless his family, he loved them dearly!

I grew up in Wilmington in the 1960's,1970's, and early 1980's and remember attending Darlington, Daytona, Rockingham, Charlotte, and Atlanta to cheer "Team Ellington." I watched another loyal driver for Hoss, Jackie Rodgers, compete hard in more than one race. Wilmington has lost a self-made man. NASCAR has lost an owner who typified the owners of that time. A time before big money, big sponsorships, and national television coverage. It was an honor to watch the man compete. RIP and condolences to the family of Mr. Ellington.
