RIP. Dude was a bad ***. Always loved watching him race.

I don't follow NASCAR , but his name is easily reconized by me as one of stock car racing greats.
RIP Mr .Yarborough, you made your mark in the sport you were part of and helped make popular all across the USA.

To complete the sad celebrity trinity - RIP Tom Wilkinson and Maurice Hines.

My favorite NASCAR driver back when there was a NASCAR.

As a kid, he was NASCAR to me. His brawl with Bobby Allison was responsible for growing the brand tremendously...



R.I.P.

RIP Cale.

One of a handful of drivers and personalities that took a back woods, Southern sport into a national obsession. Tough as nails and that son of ***** could win.
I certainly miss the Nascar of the 70s through the 90s. Today's "Nascar" is total crap.

I used to follow NASCAR but when Gordon, Dale jr, and Stewart all retired close together I lost interest. It is as much a personality based sport as anything and losing those 3 really hurt.

Then you get into how badly the people who run the sport have screwed it up.

You can't forget my favorite, Rusty Wallace. Especially in the that beautiful Miller Genuine Draft car nicknamed Midnight.
