Sad news indeed. Thoughts and prayers for Butch, David and Family. Had a lot of really great times with Randy over the years and he will be missed.

Re: Randy Payne passes......
Sorry to hear about this MJ. It was great to meet him last year at Indy, when he drove Captain Jack's U/SA wagon. Thoughts and prayers for his family,

Godspeed Randy. You looked very happy behind the wheel of Captain Jack's wagon at Indy last year.

Re: Randy Payne passes......
Knowing Randy was like taking a trip back in time, every time you went to the track. I will miss him. Scot LaMar called me this afternoon to tell me, took the wind right out of me. RIP my friend. My condolences to all of his friends and family, this is a big loss.

Re: Randy Payne passes......
Randy Payne has a long history of racing. While I didn’t know Randy back in the day, I do remember him when I used to go and watch my Dad race Stock Eliminator out of D2. Randy was always personable, enjoyed his time at the track and loved to make Butch’s car go fast!
He leaves behind two great sons, Butch and David. RIP Randy. Brenda & Bill |

Re: Randy Payne passes......
Met Big at Indy in 04. Certainly one of the highlights of that trip. My Dad always would ask about him and would love to visit with him at the races-guaranteed laughter and great stories with every visit. Butch and David are tremendous guys-they all have treated me and my sons like family. I was very happy for Randy, Butch and David when they won the D2 race at Reynolds 2 years ago-I'll never forgot how excited Butch's son (Big's Grandson) was after every round and especially after the final. So glad that they all had that experience together-truly a blessing. I was able to attend Big's 75th Birthday and what an event. It was easy to see how happy he was to have his family and so many racing friends together for his Bday (I'll never forget the ElCamino with the bed filled with ice and beer as only Big could do!!!!)
Butch and David-thank you for sharing your Dad with us. He obviously touched many. RIP my friend. Bryan and family. |
