Twenty-two years ago today, we lost Neil Bonnett at Daytona

Neil was such a good man... loved by everyone, disliked by no one. Please click right about here to read how he lived and how he died.
I want to thank everyone here that came to read my piece on Robby Gordon. You're all wonderful! I do hope you enjoy this one as well.
Caution: Tissue Alert!

You're welcome Mike. I'd love to say it was my pleasure, but February has tried hard and finally earned the title as my least favorite month. Stand by for next week, and keep the tissue handy! ☺♥

Thanks so much Dave. Sometimes they hurt, and sometimes they're fun. As I just told Mike, February isn't fun anymore. It's hard for an old-timer to look forward to Daytona when she's taken some of the very best.

I do hope you'll pardon me if I ignore that on purpose.

22 years ? Seems like it's been so much longer . Neil was definitely one of the good ones .

1994 was a long time ago, and it was much too early for Neil to die, but we don't get to make that choice. When the Lord calls, we come, no matter the time or age. He was indeed one of the good ones. He was a very good man. I miss him still, and want the younger fans to know about him, and many others that have gone before . Racing has a history worth knowing, even if it's not reflected in NASCAR's own Hall of Fame. :)
