I first met Don when he was the man in charge at Smokey Mtn. Speedway in Maryville Tennessee. Late 1960's he has always been a class act that everyone who ever raced at a track where Don was involved in the management know that he took care of the racers and fans. Mike Ashley

Our prayers are with Don and his daugther Sharon. He helped put Talladega on the map and was a great ambassador for our sport.

Don is one of the nicest guys in racing and like many others had the shaft given to them his employees and friends alike have nothing but good to say about him. I wish him the best and hope he gets well soon.

Prayers sent. Hope he recovers. I really enjoyed hearing his tale about Buddy Baker and the ambulance ride at, I think, Smokey Mountain when Don promoted there. Seems Buddy got his bell rung and when they put the stretcher in the ambulance, they forgot to tie it down. Buddy went out the back door and Naman said he went faster on the stretcher than he did in the race car. I think thats the way I heard the tale.

I've heard Don tell that tale. One of many he accumulated over the years.

Don once introduced me to a judge at a Talladega "Grand Marshal" dinner who got me out of several fairly serious traffic citations that had been issued by an Alabama State Trooper. I was always indebted.

Just heard about Don and I feel terrible; he was a terrific guy. My thoughts are with his family.
