The accident is still under investigation and those close to Raymond have
asked that the rumor mill stop until the investigation findings are out!
There is some thought that Raymond may have had some type of physical
problem just prior to the incident. Again at this point that is still
speculation and we should wait till the officials have made a statement
which will not be for a while most probably. Raymond drove his car well and
kept the safety of his competitors at the forefront of his mind. A few
years ago he chose to blow an engine as apposed to possibly hitting the
wall at Daytona when he realized if he did wreck he would take out the
porches around him
In one of Gods many ironies Raymond's granddaughter was born this week
