Received 2 calls within the last hour. Patty Jackson has informed close friends that Bobby Jackson has passed away. He was found in his hotel bed in Palm Springs. Bobby called me a couple of weeks ago from there and talked at length about the new job that he was working on and how well he felt about his life and the way things were going. He sounded great and I really enjoyed hearing from him.
No detail on the cause of death, but will try keep everyone informed. Bobby was one of the best racing directors that I knew and well respected by the racers for his logical decisions. He worked in NASCAR for 2 years and that wore him out worse than the WOO grind. I know he will be missed by family and friends.
