Re: RIP Jeff Velde
Jeff Velde was as good as they get. He fought the illness just like he raced. He never gave up, and he always did his best at everything he did. He was a major inspiration for me as a young boy. I remember well when he bought the NItro 9 car and put Velde Ford on the car. He was dominant then, and had a string of good race cars after that. More important than the cars was the way he conducted himself. Always a gentleman, and someone to look up to. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pat and the girls, Bret, and the whole family. Rest in peace, Jeff Velde.
