Passing of R.C. Alexander

Sad news from Franklin, TN. This morning, long-time resident and businessman R.C. Alexander passed away.

R.C. Alexander dies at age 80

R.C. and his sons owned several dealerships near us here in Franklin and other parts of middle Tennessee. From a racing perspective, he fielded cars for his son Mike, Darrell Waltrip, Red Farmer, and others.

I'm quite certain RR member Russ Thompson could add a lot more info and photos here of R.C.'s time in racing at Nashville.

I am sorry to learn of this. My thoughts are with Mike and his family.

Sad to hear . Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Sad News; Our thoughts and prayers are with the family....
