The dirt track community mourns the loss of one its own. AHRMA dirt track racer and former AMA Pro dirt track racer, Pete Lawson (#7A), died on January 23, 2020, due to injuries suffered from a crash on January 10 at Callahan Speedway (Callahan, FL).
Pete Lawrence Lawson, 61, of Mount Pleasant, SC, husband to Judith Anne Lawson (Gillespie) of 36 years, entered into eternal rest on January 23, 2020, surrounded by his loving family. Born on January 27, 1958 in West Chester, PA, Pete was the son of the late Albert Joseph Lawson of Aston, PA, and Barbara Brittingham Monaghan of Parkesburg, PA. Pete was a graduate of Octorara Area High School in Atglen, PA, and Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, PA.
Besides his wife, Peter is survived by his children, Kristina Anne Oxidine (Mount Pleasant, SC), Matthew Peter Lawson and Jenya Mironava, as well as his grandson, Emmett Theodore Lawson (Brookline, MA). A funeral service was held Friday, January 31, 2020, followed by burial at Mt Pleasant Memorial Gardens, 1308 Mathis Ferry Road, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.
Godspeed, Pete Lawson, you will be missed by your fans, friends, and fellow racers.
