A good friend passed away the other day. Jerry Scarborough taught me a lot about hauling NASCAR showcars. While he and I had wildly different views on some things, I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Jerry and I logged quite a few thousand miles together through the years, and I owed him for his patience and instruction. I certainly would not be where I am today without him. He, along with Danny Pledger, Robert Thorpe, a few occasional drivers, and I were the backbone of Papa Joe Hendrick’s Showcar Department in the early days. Having seen him recently, I knew Jerry wasn’t doing well, but as good as he looked I didn’t think his time would come so quickly. Farewell my friend. Thank you.
