Outlawed Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am without words, I have had the privilege of meeting Dalton this year in Vegas. Spoke with him for quite awhile but I remember asking him about how he felt he was progressing as he got more seat time, He said he was just starting to feel like a part of the truck a couple weeks before Vegas and was excited for next year. RIP Dalton 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Merkle Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Very, very glad that I knew him as well as I did. I lived about 20 minutes from his dad's shop and it was a trip to go there all the time. He was a very good kind and a very kind spirit. He will be very missed.

Metallica530 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Another young gun gone way before his time. Condolences out to the family and his team. Never really knew him, but apparently he was pretty good at what he did. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Very sad to see this news this morning. Was a rising talent for sure. Honored to be able to see him drive earlier this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Garcia Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 That and this I still can't comprehend this or put it into words how I feel, it's just such a huge tragedy to this industry, and from what I see on Facebook, his entire local community. He looked a lot hell of fun to hang around with. It just sucks that he passed at a young age.. Still shocking to me honestly especially seeing the pics he posts of his motorcycle on Instagram.
