The only thing I could discern was that this man probably did some type of sports, though I'm less than certain about that.
He was a legendary race car driver for NASCAR. Basically the Messi of stock car racing (idk much about football. Or NASCAR for that matter)
Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
He was an excellent (arguably one of if not the best) race car driver in the American NASCAR series.
Then he died an avoidable death because he refused to wear the HANS device, which was optional at the time, and which likely would’ve saved his life in his fatal crash.
Great men are often stubborn and prideful
Is anyone else getting Lieutenant Dangle boot scootin' vibes from that statue?
Just me?
Ok
Replace them with statues of John Brown
