Your right Doug, he was. I saw his brother and I believe his dad also this past weekend testing at HRP. Chris his brother is the new crew chief on Darvin Martinets TAD. They are going to run Div 4 with it this year. I saw them make a couple of passes Sat at HRP. First one they shook and shut off after a little ways, 2nd pass it hooked good and he clicked it between 1/8th and 1000 ft and still went 6.33 I believe. The last pass I saw them make it looked alot lean and ran the whole way but only a 6.50 if I remember correctly.

Not very many of those pro stockers still around either.
In all forms of racing you'll see a big turnover in a 10 year period. I was recently watching the 1995 Goody's 500 from Bristol (race where Earnhardt spun T. Labonte accross the finish line) and I was amazed at how few of those drivers were still around.
