| I'll miss him too. MRN would do live shows from Volusia Mall across the street from Daytona Speedway during Speedweeks. He was the "soul" of that show. I can remember one year we got there and they had just finished a show so he was signing autographs. A little more than an hour later when we left he was still signing. Some where I have his autograph on one of those scratch and sniff cologne cards that Dillards was handing out. To bad its Dale Jr Drakkor Noir card.

| I was reading todays paper and I see BP was the first to qualify at over 200MPH back in 82 at Talladega so I'm thinking, oh wow, he was the first to go 200MPH in a Buick. Damn! My bubble was burst. He did it in a Pontiac GP. Later that season after JD Stacy dropped him he started racing Buicks. I'm still looking for a photo of him and the Buick. If you watch Stroker Ace on CMT you catch a few glimpses of BP and his Regal in some of the background.
