Excerpt from Herald Bulletin Jan 6th, 2010 : Ken de la Bastide: Wright's life long, colorful
He was seated in the corner of the press room at Anderson Speedway, dressed in a windbreaker-style jacket with a baseball cap pulled down on his forehead.
That was the first time I met Crocky Wright.
After that first time at Anderson Speedway, I would observe Wright wherever USAC was competing. He was a sidekick for Dick Jordan, the vice president for communications.
It was clear from the start that Wright loved open-wheel racing, particularly midgets and sprints.
He had his favorite drivers — Kasey Kahne, Tony Hunt and Bobby East among them.
For many years, I thought that Wright was a fan who traveled with Jordan and kept track of statistics. Was I ever wrong.
Sitting through a rain delay several years ago at O’Reilly Raceway Park, I learned there was a lot more to this soft-spoken man.
Please click the link for the rest of this wonderful remembrance.
