One of the premier engine builders gone from cancer.  He once said something like, "Anybody can go buy the parts for a Cup motor and make 700 horsepower.  It takes a lot of rubbing and thinking to make 725."

I like that.

Lots of greats gone this year. He was a prominent force in the cup series for a long time.

Saw one of his engines (and Ernie Irvan) win the first cup race I ever went to, Sears Point 1994.

Met him and Davey back in 1992 at Talladega. What a great figure for the sport and I have always been a fan since that meeting.

For a few years the RYR 28 Ford was the car to be in. It turned almost everyone into a championship contender.
