Death is something we are never really ready for but when I heard about Dalton Myers being dead and him being only 18 years old, I didn't know what to say. When I left Tampa Bay in 2009 that would have made him only 12 years old.
So my racing friends we lost a good kid and a pretty racer too. I want to extend my condolences to the family and friends of East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, FL. Everyone will miss you soon and you will always be in our dreams.
MYERS, Dalton
