Second generation Russ King no sorry JIMBALENTINE I guess you're not familiar with the King family there is Rex and and Rex Jr. not Russ and Russ Jr. The Rexes race modifieds and Russ races late models though I wish Russ still ran modifieds he might be the only guy who can push and bang around like Kevin Bolland he might even be more rough and more respected by his competitors if he still raced modifieds he even has been caught doing some dirty stuff too that's the kind of stuff fans love I wish he was still in a modified he wouldn't be afraid to shove that Canadian Matt Williams around at Lernerville and we would get to see some bent metal action

Hey Einstein...just because he's not a "JR" doesn't keep him from being a "Second Generation" racer! His dad (1st Generation) drives a race car, and he and his brother (Second Generation) also drive race cars! Hopefully that's broken down enough for you...although I doubt it.

ya I was baffled at that...Russell King is Rex King's SON as is Rex King Jr...Rex's DAD is the ORIGINAL Russ King who owned cars from 1979 until his death in 1987..so technically Russell and Rexy (as they were called growing up) are THIRD generation...Ive Know Rex and sis since 1983 when Rex first started racing so I must know something...they are good people both at and away from the racetrack...
