Bubba Shobert with Bill Jones at the Indy Mile sometime in the mid-1980s. Jones is the son of J.B. Jones, who was multi-time AMA Champion of the 1930s. Bill was heavily involved in the sport himself. He promoted night before the Indy Mile flat track races in Kokomo, Indiana, in the 1980s.
I was stunned to hear today that Bill Jones died on Thursday after suffering a heart attack.
Bill promoted the night before the Indy Mile races for a couple of years in the ’80s up in Kokomo, Indiana.
Bill’s dad was the legendary J.B. Jones, who was multi-time AMA National TT Champion in the late 1930s and early ’40s.
No other info at this moment.
