R.I.P., Donna.

Have fond memories of the nice articles and promotions Donna and the late Paul Rakes did for us at Richmond International Raceway in the 90s, both in the Metro Motorsports Magazine and on the Metro Motorsports television show. They provided true local, grassroots coverage of Richmond racers, race shops, and facilities.

Always remember Donna's beautiful hair.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Thank you for posting this, Dennis.
