Fran Voss loved his racing career at Norwood Arena. And like most who ran there, he didn't have great success but he did something others didn't - he went wheel to wheel with some of the best New England stock car drivers of the day. New England sports reporter Lou Modestino not only covered Fran's racing at Norwood, he was a fellow employee at Polaroid. Lou, thank you for letting us know of Fran's passing.

Fran Voss was an inspiration! He his one of the best racer I know that make me stand on my chair. When I see him at Norwood Arena back in the day, I always expect and I already know that that race will be an exciting and there's an extra challenge because of him. He will always be in our hearts and memories. Right now, I am just spending time bringing back memories and playing ea – plants vs zombies and how to play with my grandchildren.
