I was so sorry to read of Clayton's passage. The Bennett and Gates families were an important part of my life for a long time, and it is sad that he is no longer with us. I will keep your families in my thoughts and prayers. "Dr Scott"

Clayton, you were a great uncle and brother-in-law. You were always gracious and kind. The memories of the Minnesota fishing trips are the best.

Clayton will be greatly missed. Him and Peg both. I was very proud to be called their "adopted" daughter when Wendy and I were young. They were always very kind people-willing to give me a ride to the races. I remember once even when he had to drive to Knoxville to pick Wendy and I up because I lost my keys in the stands. I felt so bad. He was so nice about it. So sorry to see him go.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. Clayton was a very nice person and was always a true sprint car race fan. I recall how devoted he was to the sport and I wish his family well. My condolences to his loved ones.
