Brian Bryant to Sponsor the Myrtle Beach 400 Mini Stock Race in Memory of Bobby "Iceman" Memory 

Bobby was born in Whiteville, NC in 1953 and from an early age had oil in his veins. Bobby was born to race. In the mid 70's Bobby began racing the blue and red #40 Chevelle for Rose Ice and Coal out of Wilmington, NC. He ran the local dirt tracks "back in the days" of the Leland Raceway in Leland, NC, the Dublin Speedway in Dublin,NC and later ran at Richard Brickhouse's, Pender County Speedway in Pender County, NC. Bobby won over 40 races in his career and even became track champion in the Eastern Late Model Division. Bobby held the Pender County track record for the fastest time trial speed in his division, a record that stood through the history of the track. Bobby was always known for his sportsmanship both on and off the track. Bobby was happy to call many great drivers like Dub Fullford, Hank Jarman, Willard Milligan, Glenn "Corkyboy" Williams, his friend. Later in life, when health reasons caused Bobby to hang up his racing helmet, he became the Crew Chief for the #38 Bry-Cam Racing Team. Bobby was the back bone of the #38 racing team, from engine building, car set up to spotting for driver, Brian Bryant, he was (and in many ways still is) the heart of the team. Bobby is not only missed by his many friends in the racing world, but by his wife Janet Memory, son Bobby Memory Jr. and parents Mary and Adolphus Memory.

Though tracks like Leland Raceway and Pender County Speedway are no longer around for us to have the taste of red mud and the roar of engines on a Saturday night still ringing in our ears, Bobby "Iceman" Memory will forever be taking his victory lap in our hearts.
