Flashback: Margaret's Funeral

On Sept. 8, 1996, the funeral was held for Marla's mother Margaret, who passed away from cancer. Seven drivers, Jeff Burton, Jeff Gordon, Robert Pressley, Tracy Leslie, Rusty Wallace, Ted Musgrave and Dale Jarrett attend the service. Ward Burton is in Richmond for the race as did Rusty's brother Kenny, who won the race, and the Labonte Brothers, Terry and Bobby. Ray Pillow and Sidney Kibrick, who played the Woim in Our Gang also attended. Football stars Roger Staubach, Keith Fahnhorst and Mick Tingelhoff were also in attendance.

Marla had a heartfelt eulogy, and her son Faron and his cousins Randy, Dwight, Micah and Justin sang the gospel song written by Larry Gatlin. At the gravesite, Tracy sang the Vince Gill song before it was over.
