I grew up going to races in the 70’s and 80’s and picked Tim out as my favorite driver long before he drove for Rick Hendrick. My family was involved in scoring, so we were lucky enough to get to meet the drivers and even get to know some of them. My first memory of Tim is at Martinsville when he drove #12 I believe (probably 1981). We always asked for autographs and pics of any drivers we were lucky enough to see on race day, and I remember him being so incredibly friendly. It got to the point where every time I would see him, he would know that we wanted a picture with him, so even if he was talking to somebody, he would hold up a finger to us (as if to say I’ll be there in a minute). We would patiently wait and then he always walked over and talked to us. Never was there an instance when he didn’t take just a moment or two to speak to us and pose for a picture. For me - that is just as impressive as what he accomplished in his short career. I will never forget him and quite often wonder just what could have been had he lived. He will always be #1 in my opinion - on and off the track.

Other than drivers pretty much respect his battle to succeed. He knew what he was doing behind the wheel of a race car. He was one of the first Indy car drivers to which over to NASCAR. <br /><br /><br />Thanks Candice, well written and reminded me of his battle with HIVDadaw1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10990468153092480976noreply@blogger.com
