Michael "Shane" Kincy applied for work at High Plains Raceway in the spring of 2014. He was hired as a corner worker but immediately proved he had valuable skills far beyond just waving a flag. Be it painting, plumbing, general construction or anything DIY, he quickly showed he was the "go to" guy who could be trusted to complete a project on time and correctly with minimal oversight, and he became a critical member of the team at HPR. Shane took on the role of overseeing the corner working staff and when the decision was made to incorporate the corner lights at HPR, Shane was instrumental in helping to tailor the system to our needs and has been operating the light system computer in the Turn 1 tower since its inception. After more than a decade of working corners three to five days a week, he's seen it all and has always handled anything that the participants could throw at him. He is the third longest serving employee at HPR and has been a huge part of our track becoming what it is today.

Earlier this summer, Shane received some bad news - a diagnosis of advanced liver cancer, which he is fighting valiantly. Despite our health insurance plan, the bills are piling up and it seems there are always too many little expenses that accompany an illness. I know that everyone is feeling a pinch in the current economy and sometimes helping others is easier said than done. Anything you can manage would be greatly appreciated, the support would lift Shane's spirits and help ease his worry about getting his loved ones through this trouble. Thank you.
