Racing Driver Bobby East children: Did Bobby East have kids?
His children are undocumented as of the time of his death.
East raced virtually full-time in the same truck in 2006, when he was colleagues in the team’s driver development program with fellow rookie Marcos Ambrose. Despite missing the first two races of the season, East finished 23rd in points.
The Hut 100 at Terre Haute Action Track, the Belleville Midget Nationals, and the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Irwindale Speedway in California are among East’s most memorable victories.
East raced part-time in the Busch Series with Brewco Motorsports in 2007, sharing time in the No. 27, No. 37, and No. 43 cars. After a change of ownership during the season, Brewco became Baker Curb Racing.
He will be missed in the world of racing.
