Received a phone call from Tony Jones around 2:15 today. His father, National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Bubby Jones, came through today's surgery with flying colors. Tony said everything went perfect and Bubby will make a full recovery. Tony wants to thank everyone for the their thoughts and prayers for Bubby.

Here's wishing Bubby the best. I can remember when the Kazarian brothers hired him to come out to Ascot from the midwest to drive their car for what was allegedly the unheard sum of $500 per week. I don't know if that was the right number or not; however, even as long ago as that was, he was worth every penny of it. USAC might have had the "Gary and Larry Show;" however, CRA had the "Bubby and Deano" show.
The last time I saw Bubby was about 8 or 10 years ago at a USAC touring show at the Terre Haute Action Track. He was a proud man that evening as his son won his first feature race that evening.

Today is a good day, My Hero Ol Bub kicks but again.
Bub was my fav as a kid, then to get to race with him! WOW! and now to think of him as a friend is even better. Anyone that ever saw Bubby drive will never forget it. Anyone that knows him is for ever better for it.
See you soon Bub.
