POSTED 12-5-07 STOCK CAR RACER WADE JOHNSON PASSED AWAY TODAY

Today we race fans lost a very good friend and driver. At 5:50 a.m. this morning (12-5-07) Douglas Wade Johnson, 51 passed away at his residences. Wade as we called him, in my opinion was one of the best to ever driver a sportsman type stock car. Wade has won many race at Beech Bend and other track as well. Wade and his Dad (Morris) were truly my Friends. I will miss seeing wade at Beech Bend and that #42 although Billy Fields drove it most of the time here at the last. I pray that God's peace be with Morris and his wife during this difficult time. Wade RIP.
