A Celebration of Life

FrankNelsonSrLarge

Today many racers from Division Six attended the Memorial Service for Frank Nelson, Sr. at the Auburn Eagles. An Air Force Honor Guard rendered Military Honors and presented the Colors to Ruth. I believe Frank would have been very pleased seeing all those who attended in his honor. Again our sincere condolences to his wife Ruth and his son, our Division Six Director, Frank Nelson, Jr. Frank will truly be missed by all he touched in our racing community. – Edwards & Young Racing
