Yes sir, that would be Greg. This is indeed sad news. Greg was an outstanding person, as is Nicci. R.I.P. Greg, you will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the rest of the family.

I think we should take up a collection, and send whatever we can to Charlie, and he can make sure Nicci gets it in whatever form she needs most.






Doug...

may God be with his family at this sad time.

Super guy, I met him at the bash, and the tech deal, plus taliked to him numerous times on the phone.............. Sad deal................

He can have the baddest Big Block Ford now................ Rest in peace Greg , you will be missed.

I never spoke with him but I sold a JW bell to him a few years back was the only contact I had. But I am truly sad to hear of this.

It would be nice to get whatever car he raced, take it to his home track, put a picture of him in it, and make one last pass in memory of him.

Very sorry to hear of this.

That is so tragic, he, as well as his family will be in my prayers!

This sucks!! Very sad to hear this. We all shared drinks and jokes at the tech seminar 2 years ago in Indiana and had a blast! He was a great guy and prayers go out to Nicci and family from Team Sherry. RIP Greg

Wow! This is so sad. Yes he was a great guy and brother racer. My prayers and condolences go out to his wife and family .

Very sorry to here this.......Thoughts go out to the family.

Just sold him some parts, very, very upstanding guy .....

Rest in peace Greg and our thoughts and prayers are with Nikki and the rest of the family.

I met Greg at US41 dragway last September and then again at the Bash this year.
He was a super nice guy with some fast toys.

R.I.P. Brother. My prayers and condolences to Nikki and the Family....

The Martin family.

Wow,..... this is awful. I always thought about stuff like this when I use to ride motorcycles.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I met Greg @ the Pinks Race @ Indy last year. We didn't get a chance to talk much, but he seemed to be a really nice guy & a true gearhead w/ a gorgeuos car.

Godspeed my BBF freind.

Very sorry to hear as well. Rest in peace Greg.......

Truly awful news, my deepest condolences to Greg's family.

Kim and I want the Gowin family to know we are thinking of them during this difficult time.

Charlie called me this morning and it hit me pretty hard. Tracy and I consider Greg and Nicci family.... I'm kind of speechless and you guys know how I like to tell stories.......

For those of you who don't know Greg, he drove the red mustang that raced Nick Bruno at the BBF Bash this year. License plate says Ratkiller 2 and can be seen in the BBF Bash DVD and preview that Nate just posted. There's also an interview on the DVD when I was combing the pits with my camera....

Wow this really hurts...

Nicci and the Gowen family, we are very sorry for your lose and you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Our BBF Family has lost a True Blue Brother...

Man this plain sucks. Greg and Nicci are awesome people. It's sad that she lost her husband and we lost a fellow BBF brother.

Charlie, Let us know where to send money or whatever. Maybe we can all pool some money and send some flowers and give the rest of the cash to Nicci.

I also like the idea of having someone make a final pass with his picture in the car. I guess someone would have to ask Nicci about that. But I'd be game to show up and support an effort like that.

I prefer to remember him as the jovial, impish, jokester that he could be. This is TERRIBLE ... !

Yeah I kinda have a little knowledge of that evening..... thats where Adney did some artwork with you know who????

These are the thoughts I want to remember of Greg also. I was also a little bit in cahoots with that little art display.

If someone is willing to be in charge of a BBF memorial for Greg, count me in.

"I was also a little bit in cahoots with that little art display."
No disrespct to the dead or you......I did not think it was funny.

I just spoke with Nicci she is holding up as good as could be expected... she wants to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts, she said she will be on now and then to keep in touch with her BBF Family.....


Randy

prayers sent.
