I remember hearing about it on the radio that evening. I was in High School and at my Grandmothers house.

I remember my father coming home from work that Friday evening and telling me the news. It shocked me. I was 6.

I was there! Just a senior in high school. It was one of the saddest sights I've ever witnessed!
Testing for a buddy!

Kind of gave me a chill watching the documentary and hearing Mrs.B describe how Tony called her at noon to discuss some farm issues and at 2pm she got a call from the speedway saying he was gone.

The telling of that call in Hungness' book gave me goosebumps.
