I have some old photos of Ken when he raced years ago.Will try and find them. Remembering him at Jackson for years in the #14 Coca Cola car or the #58 Softy Speed Shop Car. There is also a youtube video from 1988 Knoxville D Main where Ken started on the pole. Seems to me he was racing at Jackson not that long ago 3-4 years ago? He will be missed.

I have been fortunate enough to know Ken & his family { alias Fur Face } since elementary school. Ken was a great person & I was lucky enough to call him friend .He also introduced me to the world of sprint car racing back in the middle 70"s. As Im still involved with this sport I always looked forward to the time where we were racing in the area when Kenny was would show up & spend some time with us.We sometimes forget how to look up an old friend or to call & just say hello If we want to know what kind of person we are all have to do is look at our friends Thanks Kenny for your Lifelong Friendship Gods Speed Gary

I have tons of great memories watching Kenny back in the 80's do battle with Todd Mack, Marlon Jones and Jr Jr in the #14 Coke car at Jackson Speedway. I miss those days. RIP you were awesome!
