Jackie - Sorry to hear about your families' loss. Lucky was well known & respected in the racing community - and taught his son very well how to 'waive a flag'. His racing spirit was still with him this last weekend when he told you to go do your job at Tri-City Raceway, even though he was ill. From the Losch family, the LMCS officials, and all our extended 'racing family' - our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family. - Ken Keiffer
My deepest sympathy to the O'Neal and extended O'Neal family. Lucky, I'll add you to my personal list of racing people to say hi to during the national anthem. The list has gotten so long these last few years, please forgive me if I forget a name every so often. Thank you for being a part of the racing family. - Jack O'Neal
Dad; Thank you for bringing me into this sport of stock car racing. You left a good mark on the sport and I will never forget you. I love you, dad. Jack
