ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, an owner driver that is

This is a sad note to post but Kirk Shelmerdine Racing is auctioning its current race team assets, according to an item posted on kirkshelmerdine.com.Shelmerdine is best known for his role as crew chief for Dale Earnhardt from 1984 to 1992, but he has been a regular owner/driver entry at select races in recent years.Per the announcement, his assets will be sold at public auction on Sept. 14.Why is it that Nascar is letting the kind of people who helped form this wonderful sport we have fall by the wayside??IS THERE ANY ANSWER TO THIS MAYHAM?????

A small correction - Shelmerdine was also crew chief for Earnhardt for the last 10 races of the 1981 season beginning at Michigan in August when we took Earnhardt and our Wrangler sponsorship from the Jim Stacy operation (after his purchase of Rod Osterlund's team) to Richard Childress. Earnhardt and Wrangler then went to Bud Moore for 1982-1983, reuniting with Shelmerdine and Childress in 1984.
