Damn. Really sad.

He had an interesting and diverse racing career, and seemed like a really nice guy too.

Dang. I didn't even know he was sick. I met him back when he was racing with his dad under the K-mart/texaco sponsorship. Would have been early 90's. Was a good dude to me.

I used to enjoy the versed + fentanyl sedation.  The propofol takes all of the fun out if it.
