The Passing of Jim Fontana Sr.
My son-in-law Jim Fontana Jr. lost his dad on Saturday August 19th. He was a long time Division 1 NHRA Super Stock Racer. He enjoyed racing so much especially with his son, Jim in the driver's seat. His proudest moment had to be when Jim Jr. won the Englishtown National Event in 2014 in their Super Stocker. He will be missed greatly by his family, our family, and his friends in the racing community. We are very saddened by the loss of this wonderful man. At this time please keep our families in you prayers.

Re: The Passing of Jim Fontana Sr.
Prayers and thoughts for your loss. Mr. Jim was always very helpful the few times we spoke on the phone. It was very obvious he loved his family and had a wealth of drag racing experiences he would share. Condolences.
