I, as well as many others, especially here in the North East, followed the racing career of Richie Evans. We were all saddened at his untimely death at Martinsville in October of 1985. He was the racers racer.
I only raced against him once. That was opening day at Utica-Rome in 1961. I ate his dust as did most others. As a spectator and in the pits I attended many of his races. His induction into the NASCAR HOF will be very emotional to many.
