Tiny

Although his name was Tiny

He stood 'bout 6 feet 5

Fun is what he lived for

That's why he chose to drive

 

From the mid-west in the fifties

To the South Carolina clay

He loved to race and raced to win

Many times along the way

 

From the Grand American Division

With 3 championship cups

To hundreds of wins in Sportsman's class

He kept on moving up

 

He really hit the big time

in 1963

With the Wood Brothers at Daytona

Marked his place in history

 

Marvin Panch would testify

There's not been a better man

Than big ol' DeWayne "Tiny" Lund

If you need a helping hand

 

She'd say they were all crazy

If you asked Wanda Lund

But that's one thing that she loved most

That Tiny was so much fun

 

That fateful day at Talladega

Just outside turn two

Tiny lost his life that day

Doing what he loved to do

 

303 racing starts

119 top tens

A champion now and forever

In the hearts of fans and friends.
