Robert had already been in poor health after a series of minor strokes and heart attacks, but the virus took its tragic toll. Let’s just hope everyone stays safe and smart and cooperates in what will be a very unique experience for everyone.įinally, before we jump into the rest, a tip of the visor to the great Joel Robert, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 77 after contracting COVID-19.

We have Weege, Matthes, and Jason Thomas on hand, as well as the guys from Align Media down there in Houston. Racer X Online been blasting out season preview shows and interviews and stories ever since the schedule came out, and we will be posting breaking news, photos, updates, and results on the site and on social media all day and night tomorrow.
