Gary is everything NHRA needs today-outspoken, excellent driver, great person, fan friendly. He was one of the first fuel drivers my wife and I got to know a bit since he recognized me from being at a lot of races. He gave my wife one of his own race worn Winston shirts to give me as a birthday present. At the time he told me that he has kept all the crew shirts of his except mine and one other. It would be great to see him back but I doubt that will happen-having too much fun with his son's racing.
