As Hi-Tech said..Neil was Second to None. From the early days of the Late Models to ALL he did for racing, Neil Upchurch was an amazing, giving man. I used my voting rights for the TMS Hall of Fame to nominate Neil via a write-in vote for 5 straight years. He deserves that- he should be in any Texas motor sports hall of fame.
Neil and I shared being PA announcers and media members as well. We always had a great conversation no matter where we met.
You may have never agreed with him 100%, but his heart was always in the right place. Texas racing, and the world overall, lost a good man.
