I worked for Harold Steele as Foreman & General Manager of H.S. Die & Engineering for 26 yrs before I retired at the end of 2000. I watched Tim Grow up and have a super racing career. I was heart broken that His racing had to come to an end from an injury. He is a super kid. The last I heard He was doing well.

I use to look forward to a good Arca battle between Tim Steele and Jeff Purvis. They could make you stand up the entire race. Tim, good luck in your future projects!

Believe it or not I was at Atlanta Motor Speedway that day , I think I was buying tickets and I heard someone running around the track. The gate into the grandstands was opened so I walked in right about the time the Daytona USA sponsered #15 car went down pit road. They put new tires on the car and it went back out and in what is now turn 3 at Atlanta the car got loose slide to the bottom of the racing groove , broke loose and came up and smacked the wall maybe 100 yards away from us. it was such a loud smashing sound like the worse car wreck you could ever imagine. But the rescue crew was there fast and cut the roof off the car and he left in an abulance. that whole event is still so clear. That was terrible it happened to such a great driver.

Right……..I’ve watched Tim at some late model races and he put on one hell of a show.The man had no fear of a race car.He drove it in deeper and came out harder.His stats tells his story……

Nice article, man this guy was awesome before his accident. When he was on the track he was always capable of running up front and winning. Sit back Tim and enjoy life at a little slower pace.
