Sonny McCoy Passes

Casey Miles · 04-25-2011, 01:41 PM

Sonny McCoy was a racer from Long Island's West Hampton raceway years ago. He passed from injuries sustained from a racing accident somewhere in the Carolina's. He was always wanting to race for $, run what you brung. I personally have not seen him in 10 years at least, but I will remember him for bringing big money races to W.H.

Sonny was killed at Outer Banks Speedway in Creswell, NC about 2 hours north of me. Not sure what happened though I have some second and third hand information probabably just best to leave it at that. Always sad when someone passes but atleast he was doing something he enjoyed. James

Yea Ed, Jimmy and car were full of misshaps. One time his plexiglass windshield broke apart and almost took his head off, then there was the first time he put nitrous on the car and almost crashed from the wheelie. What once was a nice Hemi Super Stocker was reduced to scrap in just a couple of years.
