    We were parked side by side in Reading Pa, a few weekes back. He was a pretty funny guy to listen to. He was what great racer and competitor and will truly be missed.

    God Bless his soul.

    The Excavator

    After many trips down the track, behind him, I always joked with him about the chutes on his altered need to be cleaned. He always asked why, and my response was "cause thats the only part I ever get to see!" He was a really great guy, fearless driver, and all around friend. Both him and his whole crew are a great group of guys. We will miss you Neal...

    A true competitor and friend

    Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to Neal's family and his incredible crew. We have raced with Neal since 1999 and the Pro Outlaw days. He was always fun to be around and enjoyed life. Neal and his crew are exceptional people and we are glad we have been able to call them our friends.

    God Speed, Neal!
