If memory serves me right Danny won both motos of the Southwick 250 national in 2002 (I think). I pretty sure that's the one and only national he ever won. Does anyone know for sure? Does anyone know how I can reach Danny?

Danny went 1-5 to win that day, Gary. It was weird in that Reed popped out his shoulder, Stewart's bike seized, there were some first-turn crashes, etc...

Nick McCabe tracked him down in December fort his piece:

If memory serves me correct, didn't his brother pass away a couple days before he won that day? It was a bitter sweet day, but I won't forget that one as a fan.

I'm pretty sure a piece of drywall fell on him while they were building a shop or something...

I grew up racing in Idaho and always loved watching Danny ride. I attended a clinic by David Bailey and Danny was cool enough to assist. He was really down to earth and helpful.
