Sorry to hear this! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Lee.

I am just crushed to hear that. The whole Shields family have been absolutely great to me and my family over the years. My thoughts are with them right now. He will be missed.

The Shields family are in my prayers today too. No, life ain't fair sometimes !!!!!!!

Very sorry to hear about this. It sure has been a rough last couple weeks. I lost my Mom last friday the 26th. It just plain sucks right now.

Dave

Our prayers to Duane and his whole family (racing family included) They are a very close bunch!!!

Also, Dave, to you & your family as well. Let's all hope that the new year brings an end to so much struggle and sorrow for many and that renewed hope and faith step into everyone's immediate foresite.

This is very sad news. I know Duane quite well and all of you are right. In fact, I honestly don't know of a nicer family in the sport of drag racing then the Shields. And that's saying a lot because there are a lot of good families in this sport especially in the alcohol classes. My prayers are with the Shields.

god speed Lee

Duane was one of the nicest guys I met in the pits last year (Thanks David Smith for introducing me to a great guy) My thoughts and prayers go out to Duane and his family. And to Kevin thoughts with you too, and all associated with Duanes father.

And Dave sorry to hear about your loss too.

My thoughts are with you all.

Regards,

Michael

I remember the first time I met Tree, she came over to our pit and wanted to know all about our family and meet all of the team. She welcomed us into "the family" of alcohol racers. Soon after I met Lee and we became good racing buddies. We spent many a late night talking about the days racing events. Lee my friend....God's speed and Tree...we all love you so much and we're all here for you. I hope your bucket list well and hope you guys got to do all that was on it.

Duane......we know how hard it is to say good bye but you will find in time that Lee will always be with you.

We are all so sorry for your loss.

Luv you all,
Sheryl Strasburg and the boys
