This piece is offered in loving memory of legendary NASCAR driver Curtis Turner, who left us far too soon, on October 4, 1970, 42 years ago Thursday. If there ever was a man capable of raising Hell in Heaven, Curtis Turner was that man, and I hope when I get there, the party is still going on.
Farewell and Godspeed Chris Economaki. You were indeed one of a kind, and a very good kind it was Sir. You are and always will be missed in the worlds of Journalism and Motorsports. Oh, and don't be too hard on God. I've heard He is a race fan.
