Word is out this evening that Kenny Montgomery, famous for the Triple Nickel Hemi Plymouth Super Stockers and many time national event winner, passed this afternoon. God Bless, Kenny.

Very sad to hear this. I was just talking about him to mutual friend this weekend.

A true stand up guy!! I will miss seeing him at the track.

RIP Ken

Very sad to hear this. We raced our Hemi and Wedge cars in Div 1 and always had the pleasure of seeing Ken and his family competing for many years, always a gentleman and a great family. He will be missed. All our prayers and thoughts go out to the family at this very sad time.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ken at PRP one year. He was a very nice guy to talk too, and even told me the story of how he came up with 555 on his cars.

RIP Kenny. I knew him for a long time. Always a pleasure to visit with at any time. In the late 70's he and the 65 SS/B were a big influence on me wanting to go stick shift class racing. I will miss him.
