Hello all,

Some sad news crossed my desk today regarding a long-time season pass holder, Doug Cowx, who passed away on Friday.  I know that a number of race teams knew him, as well as fans.  I felt it was important to pass this information along.  On behalf of Delaware Speedway, our thoughts are with Doug's family.
