I just heard about Ben Arnold pasing. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben several years ago and found him a like-able fellow and a joy to talk to. The following is his obituary as copied off the internet.

He was a former Grand National Stock Car, Driver, and part of the Alabama Gang. He retired from Dana Automotive. He still holds the Track Record at Talladega International Speedway for qualifying backward at 178 mph. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Tabbie Arnold; special sons, Rooster Killian and Mike Capps and numerous friends. A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, at 2:00 PM with burial in Peoples Chapel Funeral Home with burial in Elmwood Cemetery. Visitation will be 12 - 2 P.M. on Wednesday at the funeral home.
