Believe he had discussed the prospect before but whatever deal he got with Skillman must have been too good to turn down. He'll definitely go down as one of the greatest and that's not just based on his record. His dedication to his craft has always been inspiring. Remember him driving up to Chattanooga to run his Chevy 2 in the local bracket program and it was COLD that night, believe that was at least 30 years ago. The year he was the reigning Super Gas champ in the Monza he went out early at the Nationals and stopped by on the way home to run a bracket race at our local track in Knoxville. Soon as he got there he was under the car adjusting his four link and getting ready.

Amazing career, hope he comes out occasionally to show everyone how a Champ conducts himself.
