(Dave working as Pit Steward at Winston Speedway)Dave Wiggers lost his long battle this morning with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. He was surrounded by family and friends.
Dave spent over 50 years of his life involved in racing. If he was not behind the wheel, or owning a car he was working as a track official. While many times he came off as a rough and tough character, the people who truly got to know him knew he was just the opposite.
Many drivers drove for Dave as a car owner including Derek Poland, Randy Rake, and Mike Wilbern just to name a few. His most prized drivers were his son Ray Wiggers and his grandson Zach Wiggers. His passion for racing went unmatched with anyone in West Michigan.
While the racing community is saddened by his loss, I can guarantee you everyone close to the racing scene especially at Winston Speedway and Thunderbird Raceway has memory of Dave Wiggers.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be sent to assist the family with funeral expenses. No memorial service is planned at this time.
