Yesterday, the Maine racing community waved the final checkered flag for the man in black and yellow, Dave Darveau.
I don’t believe there is a single soul who has been to a racetrack in Maine who hasn’t heard his name. The legacy of his career will forever be etched in Maine racing history. There was quite simply no other man like him.
The wins. The championships. The ingenuity. The mentorship. He did it all.
But besides the man behind the steering wheel, Dave will be just as well remembered for his laugh, his colorful sense of humor, and most of all… his friendship.
He will be missed by so many, but I have a feeling the many friends welcoming him home will certainly be happy to have him joining the field at the next race.
We are thinking of Rita & Dave's entire family.
