Long time Super Gas racer Ronnie Duke died suddenly last night of a massive heart attack. He was a great racer, and he was my friend, I will miss him terribly.

Ronnie ran "Duke Racing 'Glides" and "Duke Performance". He was a multi time Super Gas champion at Music City Raceway, as well as a tough competitor in Division 2 and 3 for many years.
