I hear that Benny Corbin, the builder of New Smyrna and Volusia speedways, has passed away. What an impact that man has had on our sport! He’ll have an interesting obit, that is for sure.
Benny’s family is still very involved in Florida short tracking. My condolences on their loss, and my appreciation for all they have done for us.
Benny was great guy, and had a ton of knowlege on how to build tracks and make great dirt track surfaces. He was fun to talk to and he was generous. I got ot work with him when I was promoting at Volusia in 93,94. He will be missed.
So sad, but not unexpected… I knew Benny for a long time and he could really prep a track well despite having to predict the FL weather each week to do it… He’s in a better place now with no pain… My condolences to my good friend Kent Corbin and the whole family…
