    Uncle Brian RIP I will cherish the moments when I was younger for the races you took me too plus doing model cars and entering them in the car shows they use to do and winning on some of those. You always did great job on details with the model cars. ❤️ Lauren

    Brian, you were one hell of a guy. A big hug every time i walked into the front gate. I remember one day i walked in and heard “i got something for you!” And it was A sign for my big wheels! I swear if it wasnt For you people wouldn’t have even known i was there. You told all of the kids coming in “hey go sign up for big wheels!” I could never thank you enough. I love you big man❤️ Until we meet again my friend.

    To say you will be missed is an understatement. You were an outstanding person and an inspiration for me to race. The track will never be the same without you there. Rest easy my friend.
