Is he from Iowa? I seem to remember him running at Cordova a few years ago and speaking with him for a little while in the pits.
OK, same guy I was thinking of. You're right, he is a real nice guy. He spent a decent amount of time chatting with me and my dad at the World Series a few years ago. I didn't realize he had quit racing for a while.Yes, Rail is from Sully Iowa.
One heck of a nice guy.

Yes, it did get hit and it looks like it did quite a bit of damage. From the news articles I read it sounds like his place waswhere the tornado touched down first. Here's a copy/paste from another thread:On a less positive note, I've also heard that his shop got hit by a recent tornado - hope there's not too much damage/disruption.
It looks pretty bad fom this article. NWS says the wind speeds were around 130 mph. There's a video on the page and about 3/4 of the way through it shows the Co-Lin facility and they speak briefly with Dale Brand.
