We at the Michigan Auto Racing Fan Club  send our thoughts & prayers to the family of Steve Evens who passed away this past week.

Steve was a great announcer for TNN and broadcast journalist respected by many fellow commentators.  He will be missed by many race fans across the country.

Godspeed.

Sincerely,

Bill Barnhart

President MARFC
