I saw this in the local paper this AM.
The folks at Holberts car dealership in Warrington have a saying: The only person who doesn't consider Bob Holbert a racing legend is Bob Holbert.
That legend has passed into history. Holbert died Monday at the age of 84.
Indeed, Holbert and his son, Al, who died in 1988, were inducted in 2004 into Sebring International Raceway's Hall of Fame, along with the legendary Andretti and several others. Bob Holbert held a record six class wins at Sebring, including second overall in 1960 and a historic GT class win in 1964, according to a history of his car dealership.
