Just got word from Hap (his brother) that R.L. "Wildman" Peyton has passed away in Florida.
R.L. race AA/FD and was a character. He once broke down coming to one of my fuel meets
and hitch-hiked to it and told me "Jack, I promise I would be here, so I am here"!
The movie is coming along fine, Hap told me. For some great reading get the book about R.L.
"The Wildman" at R.L. Peyton.com
Back in the day, Hap was the 16-year-old crew-chief. He is now a songwriter in Nashville.
Thanks R.L. for making racing exciting back in the "good ole dazes" and R.I.P
