My heart felt very sad when I heard the news early Monday morning. Even though Mark was in a very important position in our sport, he always found time to make the drivers feel comfortable on his starting line. On that starting line 2 years ago at Indy the track was down for a while, drivers sitting in their cars backed up to the water box. I watched Mark bring each driver a bottle of water. He always found time to talk to the racers, any time they approached him. He made approaching him easy. That is a good feeling considering he was the last man I saw every time I went down the track.

My condolences to his family and friends.
