Best wishes for a speedy recovery to ARCA official Bob Hebestreit, who suffered a mild stroke and was hospitalized earlier this week.

He is now home and resting comfortably. "Hebie" worked his first race for John Marcum as an ARCA official in the 1950s and has been a mainstay ever since on the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards. He also was instrumental in helping Marcum establish ARCA at Flat Rock Speedway in the early 1960s and continues to be a frequent visitor to Flat Rock and Toledo Speedways. Bob and his wife Frances thank everyone for sending along messages of cheer and can be reached at (313) 383-6733 or by mail at 17668 Hanna, Melvindale MI 48122.
