HIGHLIGHTS

Roy started racing in the early 1970s at tracks in New Brunswick. He didn’t stay in the driver’s seat long, turning driving duties over to Ron Gallagher. Roy’s love was in the chassis and in how to make the car go faster. He would travel to River Glade every weekend during the racing season to set up the race cars. He built many cars, but the most famous one was the car he built for Ernie McLean that the late Dale Earnhardt raced at River Glade Speedway. He was one of the top race car guys around. He willingly shared his knowledge with others. For Ernie McLean, Roy was the go to guy when it came to making the rules for the new season to get the rule right and fair. He was an NB Power lineman, so he kept the lights on at River Glade Speedway – if a light went out, the climbing gear came out. When all the poles came down the time of the Ground Hog storm at River Glade Speedway, Roy was the man to find the poles and get them rewired. Today Roy loves going to the tracks and watch his grandson, Drew Greenlaw, compete in the Sportsman class, and he turns on the wrenches sometimes, and you never second-guess him, it’s always the right change.
