Default Re: JOE LEPONE JR. PASSES ON

Joe certainly was a driver for Grump, but when not behind the wheel yanking the Lenco levers, he took the time to talk to a young drag racing addict on several occasions. Back then, the "Toys" would have to be roped off in the pits to keep the onlookers out of the way. I grew up watching my dad race, so I knew when and when NOT to ask questions. Joe was ALWAYS cordial to me and if he didn't remember me from the previous time I talked with him, he sure acted like he did! R.I.P. good man.
