I am not sure of his father's name but I spoke to him briefly in the pits this past Saturday at Devil's Bowl. I hardly ever post anything online but this time I really wanted to. Koby's dad was very friendly whenever I watched him work on his sprint. He greeted me and even explained an engine issue he was having. He also had a crewman that was very nice also. They could have totally ignored me but they didn't. Nice people like Koby's dad and the crewman are great for sprint racing and fans.
Hats off to them,
Kevin

His name is Rick "the rocket" Barksdale. He was quite a racer himself back in the day.
Speed kills. But you get there faster.

Hi, this is Koby Barksdale. Thanks for the compliments. We really appreciate it. We enjoy going to the races and having a good time. We're all there to have fun and meet new people. I'll pass on the message to dad and my crew guy Tyler "PumpJack" Marler.

Damn, what's sad is I knew that.

Koby,
Thanks for the reply. When I met your dad at the Bowl, I could tell that he really enjoys racing. He bragged on you and mentioned that he does it for the fun of it. I think it is cool that you both can race together. If I ever get my son(little guy in my icon pic)into racing, my wife will surely kick my butt! She went to one sprint race and it scared her!
Maybe I can catch you guys back in the pits at Devil's Bowl on June 2.
Take care,
Kevin

Haha yeah my mom gets pretty nervous also. But, we will be back at the Bowl June 2nd. Come on down to the trailer and say hi. Well be there enjoying the night. See you there.
We're there for fun but also trying to race my way up through the ranks. Trying to land a ride and promote myself is tough these days.
