Most of you probably don't know Larry by name. But he was a true race fan. He went to ALL the local tracks and was always looking for old stats from the tracks. RIP Larry

Very sorry to hear this. I talked to him at great length most nights at BC. I helped him with drivers names and feature finishes. He told me many stories about racing in the 60s and 70s at BC, and how most nights the stands were packed. I will miss seeing him. Prayers to the family.
 
Larry would come down after the races and we would strike up a conversation about the gold old days when my dad raced. I believe he went through basic training with my uncle John. A true race fan. Very sad news.

So sorry to hear this. He truly was a race fan! He would stop by Jimmy's car in the pits after the races at Belle-Clair and chat with us every night. Rest in Peace Larry.
