Remembering Doug McRobie

Joe Pinkston · 09-21-2009, 07:03 PM

I realized today that it was 1 year ago today that we lost Doug McRobie from an accident at the Jegs Sportsnationals.

I know that Doug's wife Irene did watch this site from time to time ( I don't know if she still does), but if you do, I just wanted to say "God bless you" to Irene and Wyatt, and I hope all is going well for you both and the entire McRobie family.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham

Was there ever an end result to the investigation? What happened? I was there and still do not understand, If it was a mechanical malfunction I would like to know so we all could monitor that on our race cars.

GOD SPEED DOUG, As a racing community everyone is FAMILY!

I was remembering Doug this week too, found a photo of his car in my photo file. He is surely missed.

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say how wonderful your support has been for Doug, Irene, Wyatt and the whole family. I met Doug when I was 16 and I looked up to him like my big brother. I was blessed to go to many races with him and the McRobie family in his early(Nova) days and a few with his roadster. It was always a great time. Thanks again for all of the nice comments, they certainly helped me through the past year.
Racers, you truly are a family and it shows.
