George Brunnhoelzl III was recently honored as the NASCAR Southern Modified Tour Champion. One of his young team members Austin Doub passed away in November after fighting Muscular Dystrophy for years. George and Austin's father, Reggie spoke about the teenage racer who was taken too soon.

what a heart felt story. Sad to lose such a fine young fan and give praise to the warm hearted racer who befriended him. My sincere condolences to the Doub family and accolades to George Brunnhoelzl III. Both were champions in my book.
Agreed, Bill. My heart and prayers go out to the Brunnhoelzls and the Doubs. Thank you for reading.
