Keith "Spanky" Chrysler (Photo from Jalovec Racing Photos)It comes with great sadness to inform the West Michigan Racing community the passing of Keith "Spanky" Chrysler on Friday, February 12 after a battle with cancer. Keith was well renowned in the racing community as a gentle giant. While his stature could be very intimidating his demeanor was that of teddy bear. I had the pleasure of watching "Spanky" race and help other racers. This past summer I got to know him a little better as he did some work for me through Wilkerson Excavating. When he was done my wife commented of how kind, and funny "Spanky" was. She was immediately impressed when he pet and held our little dog. The next day he was holding our neighbors 3 week old kittens. He was an easy guy to like. It was the first time my wife had met him. That is the impression he left with ever body who got to know him.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
