I got the news today that Billy Wimble is in hospice care in the Tampa Florida area and needs our thoughts and prayers. He has had bleeding on the brain and it looks very dire, I first briefly met Bill in 1962 at Fonda Speedway. Bill is from Lisbon,NY and won his first race in1955 and first championship in 1958. He won the first NASCAR National Sportsman Championship in 1960. He also won the first NASCAR N.Y. Championship. He was awarded the Carnegie Bronze Medal for assisting Tiny Lund in Getting Marvin Panch from his burning car. I got to spend some quality time at the Modified Racers Reunion in Feb. with Bill and always enjoyed getting together several times a year when I lived in Florida. Please say a prayer for this fine racer and gentleman...
