Jayski Personal Note: In June 1999, Randy came to my house in Cape May Court House, NJ to do an interview for TNN’s (The Nashville Network, which then became the The National Network, then Spike TV and is now Paramount Network) Inside NASCAR (also know as Inside Winston Cup). It was my first real exposure to readers and NASCAR fans and was a lot of fun. Randy interviewed me outside at our old horse paddock and in my 12×12 office (the first home of Jayski.com). Randy was great to deal with and friendly and talked to my folks and played with my dogs. Over the years and with me stepping out of the limelight, other family related interests, traveling and concentrating in building the Jayski team to continue the site and dealings with ESPN and now partnering with NASCAR, I lost touch with Randy. I was sorry to hear of his passing (4-22-2022)
