I don't know if I should be the one to post this as I have not been asked to do it by the family but . . . .

I'm so sad to inform those who don't know yet of the passing of Duke McMillen.

I talked to Carolyn this morning and she said she doesn't have complete plans yet for a memorial but thought it would be Tuesday. I'll post more info as it becomes available.

Duke would have celebrated his 73rd birthday the last week of this month.

Duke had some of the standout drivers of all time win in is cars over the last 49 years. Gary Patterson, Jan Opperman, Jimmy Sills, Tim Green, Jesse Hocket, and many, many more through the decades.

Duke will be sorely missed.

RIP my friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family - Carolyn, Scotty, and Jason. (Sorry, I can't recall his daughter's name right now.)
