Like many area residents, I grew up going to the Danbury Fair Racearena.

I never made plans for a Saturday night because I knew I would spend it at the race track.

Many talented drivers competed at the track as the Racearena drew a crowd of about 7,000 to 10,000 fans every week.

Short epilog by Danbury Racearena Announcer Paul BakerDanbury, Connecticut USAhttp://www.Danbury-Racearena.com.
He was the youngest driver in the history of the Southern New York Racing Association, and raced at the old Danbury Racearena. He continued racing after he, his wife Martha, and their four.

Hour Staff Writer. Jimmy Smith, a Norwalk native who became one of the top drivers of all-time at the old Danbury Fair Racearena, died Sunday in North Carolina after a prolonged illness.

We recently lost one of the great ones -- Kenny Webb -- who helped shape the speedway into one of the best little bull rings around.

The longtime New Milford resident passed away Sept. 17 of a heart attack at the age of 79.

He was third on the Racearena's all-time winners' list in his car No. 2, with three season championships and 32 feature wins.

His first championship came in 1958, then again in 1972 and 1977.

The first stock car he bought was a 1932 Ford for the price of $25.

I will admit I didn't root for Kenny, but I did respect his talent as a driver.

Folks probably remember him best for driving his black deuce race car with an aggressive driving style. He never backed down.

I didn't know him personally, but over many years I did get his autograph a few times.

If you go to the Internet and type in Kenny Webb's name, you will find many nice stories from his family and friends about how great of a man he truly was.

I don't know if the men who raced at the Racearena over the years realize how they helped to shape many of our lives today.

Rest in peace, Kenny, and thanks for many great memories.
