With rubber on the asphalt, and dedicated racers leaving everything on the track,
that�s the way Sonny Hutchins would have wanted it. Tony Hall of Team Seigler Imports
honored his stock car racing legend grandfather by promoting bicycle racing at
Southside Speedway.

Hutchins� November 25, 2005 Richmond Times/Dispatch obituary quotes NASCAR greats
Richard Petty, Darrel Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt about the fierce competitor who
loved �showing up at someone else�s track and beating them,� according to the Times/Dispatch.

I didn�t know the race car driver, you know,� said Hall. �I knew the loving grandpa,
who was really more like my father.�

The same man who would put Earnhardt into the wall would talk a young Tony into eating
his greens so he could be like Popeye. Then he would let the Tony beat him in arm wrestling.

Must be something to that Popeye thing. Hall placed third in the category 3 and 4 road
race event. He and the first and second place finishes broke away and lapped the field.

That�s the determination that had been passed down.

�I used to call him the bionic man, because of his pacemaker and all of his scars from
surgery,� Hall said. �Nothing kept him down. Even until the end, he was trying so
hard to stick around. He wasn�t going to let anything stop him from doing the
things he wanted to do.�

This race had both track and road bicycle events.
