Ray Elder, RIP

Southern California NASCAR racer Ray Elder passed away November 24th. He came up and raced at Langley Speedway in the early 1970s as well as Westwood.

Here's a link to his NASCAR stats for what is now called the Sprint Cup series and the K&N Series.
Back in the day they were the Winston and Winston West Series.

And a video that features the #96 of Ray and the #4 of Hershel McGriff on the dirt at Ascot Speedway.
