That sucks. Best wishes to the family.

I had a customer several years back who popped his wife and then himself. He was an old hot rodder type and extremely anal about his vehicles. Bit of a hot head, bit of an ass. It screwed his grown kids up a little, especially the daughter.

damn dude... that's a bad deal.

i'll never understand the murder-suicide thing, but, it's probably not my business to understand it

For a "while now"? You mean like his entire career....

And the Dakar but the last one was his last one,they give concessions to VW like NASCAR does Toyota and it is pointless if you aint in a VW.

Ya, think he started out in Karting then went to the Baja stuff then Nascar/Baja then back to Baja.

His Family was close, wouldn't be surprised if the Dad or the Mother had a debilitating illness so they chose to go together.

Robby also had a lengthy Indy car career before Nascar. I've always heard that he started his racing career doing Moto X.
