Though tragically I know the fate of this driver, but anyone have any history on a driver named Buddy Drewes. I remember him when I was very young and I believe he tragically lost his life behind the wheel. I believe he was a team mate of Cam Gagliardi. Where did wreck happen?
Thanks for the info. How aweful. I remember seeing a photo in the gater of the car, but my father wouldn't tell me what happened, a little too much reality for a 7 year old. I remember discussing it a few years later when we started going to ransomville and passed a closed up garage at the corner of Rt 93 and 425 with the Drewes name on it. If i recall it said Drewes brothers on it.
Back on page 1 of this thread, someone asked about JJ Michaels. This is one of the saddest racing stories I know.JJ had a heart attack in the year 2005 and had stents installed. His recovery was slow, but he returned to work still feeling under the weather. After a battery of tests, he was scheduled for stent replacement and possible bypass surgery on November 10th. It was found that his heart was too weak to undergo the surgery and was placed on the transplant waiting list. JJ died 4 days later at the age of 43.
