Mike Galuk passes away

Mike was one of my biggest fans...he had special pair of diamond earrings, I have one on the window net in my car and he kept the other in his pocket on days that I was racing. Even when he was not at the track he would e-mail me and let me know he was pulling for me and that he would keep the earring in his pocket all day on race day. He was a great friend and will truly be missed.

God Speed Mike...we will ALL miss you

I believe I first met Mike at Mooresville about 2003. We became very good friends and dinner buddies at the races. He was a big guy with a big heart to match. When I hurt my back last year and couldn't work on the car he offered to come down here and help me. And, he was hurting as much, if not more than I was. If he wasn't at the races , he would call after qualifying was posted and as the rounds progressed(or not). Then he would call to make sure I got home OK. I'm really going to miss him. Godspeed my friend.

When I was in a slump he would call and say "BIG JOHNSON GET YOUR HEAD OUT YOUR *****"
