I have never paid much attention to the news of car racing, but the magazines I subscribe to and the newspapers keep publishing stories about his death. I have never understood the purpose of auto racing in the first place, it's basically a huge waste of fuel and tires. Used to be the big 3 automakers could develop their cars becuz of racing but those days are long gone, now it's nothing but commercial enterprises and no room for the independent teams on a budget. Anyone here follow the races? BTW, I had an uncle (Larry Dickson) who raced in the Indy 500 several times as well as being involved in several other types of racing. Yet I never picked up any interest in the sport.
