Charles Clifton Lane


(Rat Lane)


Statesville, NC
15.Nov.1937 - 20.Mar.2019

Mr Lane was drafted into the army on September 28, 1961. He served two years as an Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery and was transferred to the United States Army Reserve where he served for 4 years until September of 1967.
Over the years, Rat was well known for his racing abilities. It would take an entire novel to explain how very colorful and exciting his life was. He never met a stranger and was the best wheelman ever to drive a racecar.
During his later years, he spent his time on the road, in a motorcoach driving for Nascar Racing Cup owners Felix Sabates and Chip Ganassi. He truly enjoyed travelling all over the country, meeting new friends and old.
