A very sad day for me and my son. I just found out that Mike Crick has passed away. He was a big time MOPAR racer that was one of the hardest opponents we ever faced. We met him at one of the first Million Dollar races when he gave me an adjustable rocker so we could keep racing. He attended many of the big dollar races and was a frequent winner. He was one of the nicest guys you could ever want to meet and he will be deeply missed.

Did Mike run a yellow RoadRunner a while back?

I started to post about Mikes passing when I found out but didn't know if anyone else knew him. I talked to Mike probably early June, he had his daughters dragster and a 65 at Paducah. From talking to him I thought he was doing well. We talked about a lot of stuff and Mikes heart was in the right place. In retrospect from our conversation I suspect he knew what was coming, I was taken back when I found out that he had passed. Mike was a good man and a good racer too, my R1/Indy headed small block was purchased from him.

He was a really good guy and a heck of a racer, heck of a good success story to really as far as his business. I didnt know him real well but talked to him a few times.

Didn’t he have a couple of Duster race cars? One was a pro-mod car that he was trying to sell? The other was a really nice green Duster that was built by JCR Chassis in Florida?
Sorry to hear of his passing.
I have known Mike and his wife (Sandy) for over 30 years. This is a loss that we will not get over soon. Prayers, please, for his family.
