Was extremely saddened to learn of Chris' passing. Had not heard until this morning. He and I had worked together in various auto racing tasks for the past 20 years. Such a positive attitude and a great influence on me over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. This is a picture I had of Chris shaking hands with our Champion Gabe Sommers at Wisconsin International Raceway from a couple of years ago. I am so glad that I jumped in his truck last year and waited to cross the track and got to catch up with him. Again, what a blessing it was to have met and worked with Chris.
