This is NOT an official NASCAR site,
but a fan's site. You will find information about the
beginning and very early days of NASCAR, plus much more! It is NOT
just about the drivers . . . . it's much more.
It's about the stories
behind the stories, the cars, tracks,
owners, mechanics and statistics galore. You will find some of the best
Bench Racin' on the net. To qualify for inclusion, the driver
would have only race in one NASCAR sanctioned race. Others would have to
have had an impact on the sport. Legends is not just about the "stars",
but those who made the Legend of Nascar. Our mission will be to collect the most
information we can find. And that's up to you. If you have a story to
tell, that's what this site is all about. Just email it
HERE.

JOHN ROBERT (BOB) FISH,
JR. Passes Away Mr. Fish was passionate about connecting race history with the

connected with the 1950's racing and his father., including Fireball
Roberts. Go to the Fish Carb

From the Family of Mr. Fish: Thank you so
much for your kind words. My family has been very touched to hear
from those who knew my father at different phases of his life. I'm
finding that he had an even more interesting history than I
realized.
The services were held on June 26th, 2007, internment at Fort Rosecrans
National Cemetery on Point Loma in San Diego, CA. The memorial service
was at the Chapel of the Roses in Glen Abbey Memorial Park in
Bonita, CA (3838 Bonita Road). Those gathered after the
service were invited back to the home my dad shared with my mother,
Audrey, at 3261 Bonita Mesa Road, Bonita, CA. Thank you again for contacting us and for your
condolences.
Best wishes,
Kim Gietzen
