    Bobby Alexander, Jr. was killed in a highway crash on Sunday... The son of Tampa-area legend Bobby Alexander, Sr., Bobby, Jr. ran mostly at East Bay Raceway during his career...

    Here is the story from the Tampa Tribune... Photo from 1998 by Max Dolder...

    A Manatee County man died in a Seffner-area crash early Sunday, the Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office says.

    Robert H. Alexander, Jr., 44, of Parrish, was driving his 2016 BMW northbound on County Road 579 near Sligh Avenue when he turned left into the path of a 2008 Chevrolet van at about 2:23 a.m., police say.

    Alexander was not wearing a seat belt and was unresponsive at the scene and subsequently transported to Brandon Hospital where he later died, police say.

    Police say that the van was driven by Jorge Rios-Luis, 18, of Seffner. None of the three occupants of the van were reported to have suffered injuries.

    An investigation in the accident is ongoing, police say.

    What a shame...I first met Bobby Jr. when I went with Senior and family to Citrus Co. for a race. He was about 5 or 6 at the time.... Bobby Jr. has touched many people in his short time. He has three children, 2 girls and 1 young son (that looks exactly like him at that age).
    Thankfully, Bobby Jr. was at the races earlier that night (at EB) and saw many of his friends that he had not seen in many years....just a few hours after the races he was deceased....again...What a shame.....OSF
    Thank a Police Officer for what they do........... OSF:
