He was my teenage racing idol second only to Big Daddy. I remember seeing his pictures in Hot Rod magazine and thinking, wow, what would it be like to go that fast.
RIP Mr. Breedlove.

I didn’t have many idols growing up, but Craig was one of them.
Kind of eerie that the “Spirit of America” has died , given our current times…..
