Donnie's passion for racing was more than a hobby; it was a significant part of who he was, seeing that he was the proud owner of the Price Racing Chevrolet. He spent countless hours at the track, sharing his love for the sport with friends and family, especially with his son Tadpole.  

Above all, Donnie was a family man. He cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, whether a quiet evening at home or a lively family gathering.
