This past weekend, all of us in the racing community lost one of our own with the untimely passing of Andy Fayash Jr.

Andy had competed in all types of racing since his start in 1984, and was a feature winner in every division he raced.  Even more important than feature wins, Andy’s reputation in the pit area was second to none.  He was always willing to lend a helping hand, a part, or even his car to anyone that he felt needed it more than he did.  He was always there with a freindly conversation or funny story for anyone that was willing to listen.  Those qualities are what endeared him to his fellow competitors, and why he will be so dearly missed.
