| Comment | [Ray Heltzel] Pruett and Barrios were quiet troopers and weren't the types that sought any glory. They were good hands and could always be counted on to carry their fair share of the load. Jim Pruett took a lot of pictures for me. He always had my back. This is the only picture of Barrios, he was a real quiet fella.
