To me, he was a cool customer. You would see a bunch of them drivers running sideways and doing all. Tim would just be running around. When the race was over, Tim won. Them guys were still running sideways. |

Donald Steven Flock
1947-2008
Donald Steven Flock
Mr. Flock, 60, of Charlotte died Thursday, March 20, 2008 at NorthEast Medical Center in Concord due to a heart attack. Donald was born May 13, 1947 in Atlanta, GA, the son of Frances Roberts Flock of Fort Mill, SC and two time NASCAR Champion, the late Tim Flock. In addition to his father, Don was preceded in death by his son, Timothy Darrell Flock.
Donald Flock was an avid fan of the John Boy and Billy Radio Show and he did an interview at the end of the CARS movie about racing. In the late 1960's he was a fireman for the City of Charlotte. Donald was a Harley-Davidson lover all of his life and he found joy and happiness riding his Harley. He always enjoyed the fellowship of his friends at VFW Post 9488.
Don will be missed by all of his racing friends across the country who always enjoyed his stories about the old days of racing and his father's racing career.
In addition to his mother, Donald is survived by his children, Larson Nevada Flock, Reo Lorena Flock and Steven Eugene Flock; brothers, Richard Flock and Carl Flock; and sisters, Joy Kirkpatrick and Peggy Black.
Donald was a strong believer in organ donation and we know that he would encourage his family and friends to also consider organ donation. His desire was always to help others.

Okay, so no matter how many times we tell the story of Jocko Flocko, there are still folks who just can't believe Tim raced with a monkey. So our crack team of researchers went to work, and found some very rare photos of Jocko in his racing uniform!

Hey, did you know that Tim was among the first class of inductees into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville, GA? In fact, Tim, Bob and Fonty are all three inductees into the hall! Long time friend and racing historian Gordon Pirkle has done a fantastic job on the Flock display in the "moon room" of the hall, with trophies, photos and more. If you get a chance, please stop by the hall when you're in the area (and tell Gordon we said "Hi!"). You can get more information on the hall of fame here. And don't forget, Frances always comes out to the Dawsonville Moonshine Festival in October each year!
