Seekonk Speedway is saddened to hear of the passing of Wall of Fame member, Deke Astle. As part of a career that lasted over two decades, Astle was the “Little Man with a Big Cigar” and was victorious over 25 times at Seekonk. In addition to dozens of races won at Lakeville and Westboro Speedway’s, Astle won the Class A Seekonk title in 1966, and continued racing through the late 1980s, where his career ended in the Pro Stock division.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Godspeed, Deke.
