The entire Pittsburgh Raceway Park community extends their deepest and most sincere condolences to Frank's family and friends.

Did he race a light tan 73ish duster also? Im pretty sure I chatted with him a few weeks ago. Seemed like a really nice guy.

I was stunned when I heard Saturday evening. He was only 52 years old, apparently he had a heart attack.

I saw on Facebook there is a fundraising site to help pay for the funeral expenses, below.

I can't even imagine what the kids are going through, having to sort through everything, all while dealing with their loss.
