Dick Trickle, 71, Dead Of Apparent Suicide

Just read an interesting little factoid about Trickle, and an odd one to boot. Seems the only Busch race he ever won was back in '97, at Hickory Motor Speedway. That really struck me, for a weird specific reason. Few of you guys here know that nasty little doughnut, or even know OF it, but it sits down in a hollow overlooked by a large cemetery . . . though not the one a county over where he chose to end his life.

The best name in sports ever, as well as the only NASCAR name I could ever remember. The Trickle has come to a stop.....RIP.
