Godspeed Alex Denysenko!

Alex was dedicated to the sport of stock/superstock racing like none other in his time. His love of drag racing, which began in the glory days at Oswego, IL Dragway and US 30 in Gary, IN and culminated in his successful participation at the highest levels of NHRA and IHRA competition contributed to his legacy. He'll always be remembered as the Father and originator of the Class Nationals at Byron Dragway, the "Woodstock" of Class Racing. His love of all things Ford, and the help and mentoring he gave to so many racers will not soon be forgotten, nor should it be.
Alex will be missed and remembered by all who knew him.
Rest in peace, my friend.

After second round at Joliet one year, I broke a oil pump drive. Alex hunted one down for me and worked late into the night to help me fix it. I kept saying that I needed to check on who I had next round in case it was heads up. Alex said that he was pretty sure that I didn't have a heads up next round but he would check for me after we were finished.
So after were were done all covered with oil he says "you have me next round" He knew all along.That was the type of guy he was.
He will be greatly missed.
