Hate to here this. It pretty well completes the Morris Davis 98 team effort. His nephew Benji raced skeeters in N. Fla and S Ga. He then moved north and wrenched for several top notch sprint car teams. Who ever said racing ain't hereditary. RIP Red.

I am sorry to hear that too. Red and Carroll were a threat to Mod Mini's for sure. I wasn't aware, Gene, That Carroll had passed. Man I'm getting old. My prayers go out to the Mills family. God Bless. Bob...
