His stepdaughter and my wife are very good friends. He and his family are are one of the reasons I started running stock eliminator this year. His pit crew is made up of family members and I can't imagine what they are going through. RIP Mark Raul

Hopefully some good comes of this, safety improvements or whatever it takes. RIP Mark Niver -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA
