7 years today. RIP Darrell

Hard to believe. I still remember where I was when I read about it.

I never met Darrell, but from all reports he was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet, and he came across that way in all of the TV coverage I saw.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Darrell's brother Chris, and their father Burnell. They are great people and I am sure that Darrell was every bit as nice as they are.

RIP

I Agree!! that was a brutal one to call my son about, he was hanging with Darrell and company at length a couple of weeks before and wasn't watching the coverage........

RIP Darrell

Wow. Seven years ago... I remember the audiocast and the broadcast and everything. Sure miss him and that wonderful smile.

I remember the day too. That morning he came around the corner of a trailer in the pits & almost ran over me on a scooter. He apologized to me with that huge smile. Plus, June 27th happens to be my birthday. One of the worst ones ever.
