FEEDBACK ARTICLE - THE LEGEND OF LEE SHEPHERD 

 

This is a very well written story. It is true that most of us never really knew that much about Lee as a person, only as a fierce racer. I got to meet him at Rockingham, NC in 82' or 83' because I wanted to see firsthand who my favorite driver of all-time ( Bob Glidden ) was up against. David, Buddy and Lee were very good people and I gained a ton of respect for them. After Lee's death in March 85', we attended the Southern Natl's in Commerce in April and I remember it like it was yesterday, the Pro Stocks on Sunday morning came from the top end down the Strip toward the Starting Line in formation except there was a "Missing Man" ( the spot beside Bob Glidden ) and it was extremely touching. I even remember Buster Couch wiping tears from his eyes. - Bruce Young  Gastonia, NC
