Farewell No. 25, but not forever, someday you’ll be back. We’ll always have the memories though, I’ll never forget some of the things that Tim Richmond did in that car, or how many times Ken Shrader was on the pole in the Daytona 500 year after year, and we definetly won’t forget Casey Mears emotional victory at Charlotte in the 600. *gives applause*
Richmond would have been one of the greats had he lived. He had more natural talent than about any driver I have seen since. The way NASCAR treated him and his subsequent death were truly dark days for the sport.
