Pam Jenkins passes away

It’s always a hard day in motorsports to announce the passing of someone, today is no different than any other.

Bob Jenkins wife Pam Jenkins of 44 years has passed away. In 2005 she was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer, in which she underwent surgery and chemotherapy. Following weeks of proton therapy, Bob announced he would be retiring from motorsports to take care of his wife, calling his final race at Fontana in the Indycar series.

Pam passed away this afternoon surrounded by family and friends. A memorial service will be scheduled next week, with funeral arrangements to follow.
