[Mike Carr]

Very sad to wake up this morning and hear of the passing of Alex Denysenko. Alex was my first ever car owner, back in 2000. Without Alex, it is very doubtful I would have ever got started in Stock; or at least not near as soon. He also was the man behind the first ever U.S. Class Nationals in Byron IL in July 2001 (that paved the way for a few future events like it). I even gave up racing at my home track (Quaker City) at an IHRA Pro-Am to make the near five hundred mile trip to Byron to spectate at the first Class Nat'ls (this was between my driving gigs in Stock). He was a great man, an inteligent man. R.I.P. Alex
