In the April 28, 2022, issue of AUTOSPORT, there was an obituary by Marcus Pye for Brian Chatfield.
He is said having been from Trowbridge, born in 1942, died in April 2022 in Thailand.
The GenesReunited website has two candidates:
Brian Chatfield, born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, registered in the 4th quarter of 1942,
and a certain Brian F. Chatfield whose birth was registered in the 1st quarter of 1943 in Tonbridge, Kent.
Maybe a misspelling in one direction or another?
Does anyone have more exact dates?

Nice find, Richard, and a strange story in that link.
Even now it is not certain that the deceased one was indeed the driver of the Music City Racing Chevy in the Winston 500 at Talladega in May 1982.

Tim Steele and John Krebs definitely deserve to be remembered, but oh my, what terribly "written" pieces in those links. They come off very ChatGPT generated. Or by someone who literally doesn't know how to write.

When I was a teenager, John Krebs raced regularly for a season at my home track, Cajon Speedway, near San Diego. He had borrowed a car from another driver, and that driver's name stayed on the car the entire time John drove it.

The thing i find amazing is that he did a lap at 187 plus mph to actually qualify ahead of a couple of veteran drivers. (though down 13 mph from Benny Parson's pole speed.)

He musta spend some time racing somewhere to even do that well in qualifying.

Social media reports the passing of François Hurel, a prolific writer and author on all topics related to the Le Mans 24 Hours.

In addition he was well respected kart driver, as described by the ACO "François Hurel, the Pescarolo of Karting" in recognition of his many participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Karting, including victory in the 1989 race.

He was a consummate professional and an all-round good guy who will be missed.

Salute!

American driver, triple ARCA champion with a few Winston Cup starts, Tim Steele:

Tim Steele

Born in Coopersville, MI on March 1, 1968, Tim is the son of Harold and Marcia Steele. Tim was introduced to motorsports at a very early age by his grandfather and father by working on race cars, competing with go-karts, mini-champs, and motorcycles. If there was ever a natural born racer, it may be said that Tim Steele fits into that category.

Tim entered the 0-14 age bracket for motorcycle ice racing at age 5. In 1981, at the age of 13, Tim finished 2nd in the AMA/125cc class Michigan State motocross championships. In 1984 at age 16, Tim participated in International Jet Ski Racing events. Also that year, he won the NAMRA Champ Cars division championship and was named as the Rookie of the Year.

Tim soon found that he was the most comfortable behind the wheel of a stock car. He began racing a late model and recalls his most memorable win came in 1989 at his home track, Berlin Raceway. Tim began broadening his participation to include other racing series and soon found success with victories in ASA at Salem in 1990, and in the NASCAR All-Pro Series at Winchester in 1992.

1992 would also see Tim get his start in the ARCA Racing Series at Texas World Speedway. With his father Harold as car owner and sponsor, the familiar red H&S Die and Engineering #16 from that day forward, has compiled an impressive list of accomplishments; many of which stand unparalleled to this day.

In 1993, Tim would earn the ARCA Rookie of the Year title, and also capture his first championship title. Tim would go on to win the ARCA Series Championship again in 1996 and 1997. He holds the ARCA record of all-time series super speedway winner with a total of 24 victories at Atlanta, Kentucky, Lowe’s, MIS, Pocono, and Talladega. Among those wins were 9 victories at Pocono, which still tops the charts. Tim’s most memorable victory in ARCA came in 1996 with his first home state win at MIS. He also had victories at Berlin, Winchester, Salem, Kil-Kare, Flat Rock, Pikes Peak, Shady Bowl, and Springfield for 41 total wins in 145 career starts. His 12 wins in 1997 were the most in a single season since 1973. He is tied in all-time ARCA series super speedway poles with 18, and is 2nd on the all-time super speedway lap leader list with 2,316 laps-led inn 50 super speedway races. His ARCA career would also include 86 top-5 finishes, 101 top-10, and 31 career pole awards.

Other notable series competition came in the years 1993, ‘94, and ‘97 with 10 starts in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series, 5 starts in 1994 inn the Winston Cup Series, and 13 starts in 1999 in the Craftsman Truck Series.

Not all of Tim’s career was without misfortune. In 1997, just days away from from signing a contract with Robert Yates to race full time in NASCAR’s Winston Cup Series, Tim was seriously injured in a crash at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Tim’s father Harold and Brett Favre were in the process of purchasing Bud Moore’s team and were planning to run for the 1998 NASCAR Rookie-of-the-Year at the time of the crash. Unfortunately, there would be ongoing, residual and personal issues that would plague Tim during the comeback phase of his career. Despite these ongoing struggles, Tim still managed to post 11 of his 41 career victories after the ‘97 accident.

Tim’s final ARCA race came in 2006 at Chicago. One year later in the spring of 2007, Tim crashed hard while testing his late model at Toledo. It was at that moment that Tim Steele realized that it was time for him to retire from driving a race car.

Tim resides in Coopersville with his wife Dawn, and daughters Kelsey and Taylor. You can still find Tim at various tracks throughout the country wrenching on cars...not as a driver, but rather as a team owner.

Tim Steele and John Krebs definitely deserve to be remembered, but oh my, what terribly "written" pieces in those links. They come off very ChatGPT generated. Or by someone who literally doesn't know how to write.

When I was a teenager, John Krebs raced regularly for a season at my home track, Cajon Speedway, near San Diego. He had borrowed a car from another driver, and that driver's name stayed on the car the entire time John drove it.

Tribute to NASCAR West Series Legend John Krebs

By Vincent Delforge, Special to

On March 16, 2023, a legend of the NASCAR West Series passed away following an illness. This legend is

. He was 72 years old.

Born on October 1, 1950, John has always been immersed in the world of NASCAR since his father Art Krebs, who died in 2018, was himself an owner and crew chief in the NASCAR Cup Series and West Series from 1956. He was even a NASCAR official for a time in the 1980s and ’90s.

John Krebs did everything and knew how to do everything in NASCAR. From his father’s mechanic during his young years, he was soon to start motor racing as a driver. Hard driver and fair play on the track but generous outside, always ready to help his opponents. He was considered a young gun with a bright future in NASCAR.

This temperament and his good level of driving would lead him from the regional tracks in the small amateur categories to the ultimate level of the stock car, namely the NASCAR Cup Series between 1978 and 1994, driving most often on the road tracks of his Native California like Riverside International Raceway or Sonoma Raceway.

His first major race of international renown took place at Riverside in 1969 in the very competitive NASCAR Late Sportman Series where he finished 11th in a race won by Hershel McGriff. He also raced in the USAC Stock Cars, the NASCAR Grand American Division, as well as the NASCAR Southwest Series. Krebs was even on the trip during a NASCAR exhibition race in Australia in 1988.

Krebs drove against the greatest drivers in NASCAR history such as Richard Petty, Ray Elder, Bill Elliott and Dale Earnhardt just to name a few.

However, he never had the opportunity to make an attempt at a full-time season at the NASCAR national level. Blame it on a limited budget at a time when costs were starting to increase seriously and when teams not supported by a manufacturer had a lot of trouble establishing themselves. His best result in the NASCAR Cup Series was a 19th-place finish obtained at Riverside in 1982.

His last race in 1994 at Sonoma ended in flips following a collision with Derrike Cope. He knew how to put on a show. Fortunately, neither Krebs nor Cope were injured in the spectacular wreck.

But most of his career he did in the West Series between 1977 and 1994 as a driver then he would continue the adventure as owner and crew chief until the end of the 2018 season with the Japanese Takuma Koga at the wheel of his car.

“What very sad news. I can’t believe it,” Koga said because it was with Krebs that he returned to NASCAR after several years away from the circuits.

Many drivers have had the opportunity to drive one of his cars during all his years. Among them are Bobby Hillis, Jr. Thomas Martin, Vince Bellotti and Justin Funkhouser.

“He was a good man and dearly missed. Lots of us learned a lot from him,” Funkhouser said.

As a driver, he ran 141 races in the West Series with 62 top-10s including 24 top-five finishes. His best result remains the victory obtained in 1978 on the dirt track of Ascot Park in Gardena. That day, he drove his Chevrolet sporting his favorite number 91 on Victory Lane in front of Richard White and Bill Schmitt. A victory acquired at the wheel of his own car from his JKR team for John Krebs Racing with the icing on the cake, his father Art as crew chief.

After a ‘pause’ in his racing career to devote himself to his role as crew chief. The ‘driving bug’ was too strong and he returned to do two races between 2002 and 2003. He did his last race in 2003 on a short track which is coming back to the West Series calendar this season after a long absence, the Madera Speedway. This Californian track that he enjoyed so much and where he even created in 2016 with his longtime friends, like Mike Naake, a championship using cars similar to the West Series.

Apart from three seasons where he drove for Gary Bechtel’s Diamond Ridge team, Krebs spent his entire career with his own team called John Krebs Racing (JKR) or KC Racing. An evolving and somewhat cosmopolitan team since over the years he collaborated as crew chief, co-owner or simply as an advisor with his friends such as the late Jack Sellers, but also Charlie Silva, Thomas Martin, Fred Correa, Thomas Wicks,… All this merry band working together in the 2000s to sometimes field up to three cars in certain races for almost two decades.

One of Krebs’ character traits was mutual aid. Impossible for him not to share his knowledge with those who called on him, to give them advice or to help them integrate and develop in the middle of the West Series. He worked ‘old fashioned’ and said things without filters.

Many current West Series actors have crossed paths with Krebs at one time or another. This is the case of Mike Naake for example. The latter began in 1982 as a member of the JKR team. In 1984, Naake accompanied Krebs to Phoenix for the first time. And it was with the Naake-Klauer Motorsports team that John Krebs made his last official appearance in the West Series in November 2022 when he came to spot for Joey Iest. All of this happening again at Phoenix Raceway.

“Such a wonderful and friendly man. A great spotter and coach.” Iest said. Iest who should have worked with Krebs again this year.

Current ARCA official Becky McBride recalling an unforgettable moment in her career when in 1996 Krebs, then Joe Bean’s crew chief, prepared the car so well that Bean won the Mesa Marin race by more than a lap on the second of the race!

“We were on our own lap because Joe was that fast and that car was that good. John Krebs was our leader, it was a perfect night.” McBride remembers.

Bradley Erickson’s current crew chief at NKM, Tony Caputo, also explains how important John Krebs was to the development of his career.

“When I first started circle track racing and I went to look for help. I was given John Krebs number in 2006 by an engine builder. John gave me advice many times. And it always worked. He taught me the basics of what you need to do as a crew chief. Has I moved up to each new level John gave me more and more advice. Now John was an old school guy. And you had to be as tough as him. Because he called it straight.

“If you didn’t listen or follow all the steps he let you know. In 2012 I had the pleasure of working with him as I crew chief Jack Sellers car. And I learned a great deal under John’s watchful eyes. After that I went out on my own and worked for various drivers and teams. But I always thanked John when I had great success. He is one of the reasons I can do what I do for a living. Thank you John Krebs.”

There is so much to say about Krebs, as he was a pillar of the West Series for more than 50 years. But he did not remain inactive after his retirement from the West Series. He continued preparing racing cars until the end. His passion, his life, hands in an engine, changing springs, adjusting setups, pushing others to become even better, never giving up. No doubt many will have a strong thought for him the next time they get in their car for a race in Madera or elsewhere.

An endearing personality with whom I have had the opportunity to discuss many times over time. On behalf of the entire Kickin’ The Tires Staff, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Yep, a FB search confirms it is true, but the only sites reporting it are bot sites. Given his illustrious racing history, I'm sure a proper obituary won't be long in coming.

Sad news but a long life very well lived. I remember wondering a couple of years ago that even though he remained quite active, loved interacting with fans and was clearly proud of his career, I have never seen a photo of him more recent than the 1960's and I still haven't.

News reaches me this morning of the passing of Michael Cotton, a legend in endurance racing circles. Former editor of Motoring News, and PR man at Porsche GB, he was one the leading lights of the media at Le Mans and other sportscar events for around 50 years.

He was also a friend, a thoroughly good bloke, proper old-school.

Rest in Peace, Michael.

Oh my.

I worked with, liked and much admired Michael. We were very different people - but he pursued his interest and served his assorted 'masters' with great integrity and a sense of carefully researched and well presented detail - most of the time when under acute time pressures to meet immovable deadlines avalanching towards him.

If I recall rightly he had performed his two years as a young National Service officer largely in Kenya, through the Mau-Mau crisis - before 'Motoring News', 'Motor Sport' service...and onward.

My most sincere thoughts and condolences right now for his family, and his many close and long-term friends.

Oh, yet another very sad passing. I had the pleasure of corresponding with Kessler about 10 years ago and he was the most charming, friendly gentleman.

In his letter he wrote to me that Moss told him that Rob Walker, for whom Kessler had driven in F2, was contemplating withdrawing Trintignant because he didn't think he would be able to qualify and put Kessler in the car at Monaco. Eventually he didn't and Trintignant of course went on to win the race. He was friends with Stuart Lewis-Evans and stayed with his family in Bexley Heath, it was Stuart who introduced him to Ecclestone.

He asked me to send it to him if I ever find a picture of him in the Connaught. I never did, I've seen at least 20 different photos and a couple of short video clips of the car and on each one of them it is Emery in the car. No Kessler, no Ecclestone. He said he was faster than Emery and it would have been him racing the car if they had qualified, which I have absolutely no reason to doubt.

Curiously this is the only race I can think of the entry list of which has never been corrected - it says there were two Connaughts while in reality there was only one and it shows a qualifying time for Ken Kavanagh, which is no mean achievement considering his entry was refused and he didn't even travel to Monaco.

I remember Buzz, great fun. He was for a while the "doorman" at the Revolution Club just off Berkley Square; he was ruthless in extracting the Michael when non-English speakers came in - I suppose funny for the observers, but hey, Aussi humour can trump bad taste sometimes.

A couple of passings from the Western U.S. oval track scene in 2024:

Dick Bown, died on May 12, 2024. Bown began racing in Oregon in 1951, and was a top driver in NASCAR's Western series in the early 1970s. He made his first NASCAR GN start in 1961, and while most of his 21 career starts came at either Riverside or Ontario, he did make one swing through the South in 1970, making starts at Maryville and Nashville, Tennessee as well as Atlanta. A year later, he raced in the "World 600" at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Three times he was 5th fastest qualifier against NASCAR's top stars at Riverside. but good finishes eluded him in the top series. In the Western series, Bown won 14 times, with his first in 1964 and his last in 1973, with 6 wins in 1970 his season best. His high points finish was a 3rd. In addition to all of this, he was a top short track racer in the Pacific Northwest, winning around two dozen feature races at various tracks in 1969. Sons Chuck and Jim followed their father into racing.

Fred Ede, died on March 9, 2024. He raced the upright super modifieds on the NASCAR Central California circuit in the early to mid 70s, beginning at Fresno's Kearney Bowl. A career highlight came with a surprise 1971 feature race win as a 21-year old at San Jose Speedway, a track dominated by grizzled veterans. Ede would go on to win the 1973 NASCAR super modified points championship at Clovis Speedway, the lone dirt track that was then part of the series. He also raced at Madera and Altamont. Records being what they are, it isn't known how many feature race wins he had, though I have 5 at Clovis and the 1 at San Jose. While these numbers seem minor, victories were dominated by relatively few, greatly seasoned racers during the era. After he stopped driving, Ede owned USAC Silver Crown cars and stayed active with a vintage super modified group.
