Ken " Hurricane" Heckler raced street stocks ( won the US open race one year I think) , Late models, Sportsman, and Cup lites and was sponsored for many years by Mighty Taco. He survived a near fatal Late Model wreck in 1996 and was in the hospital for 6 days. He had a few wins after that in Sportsman and went on to Cup lites for a few years after that. He retired from racing a few years ago and spent a lot of time at Lancaster Speedway as a flagman and tech barn guy, he loved the place and him and his wife were always in the "Turn 4" group. Many were amazed how his 6' 7 360 lb giant fit into a cup lite car, it had custom alterations to accommodate his large frame. He was taken from us too early at age 53, and I am sure once he got up there he demanded to meet Dale Earnhardt Sr. Godspeed Kenny, you will be truly missed.
