The unfortunately-named NASCAR veteran was found dead from a gunshot wound in his pickup truck just a few hours ago. Reports say it was suicide.

Edit: Goddamnit, someone please move this out of Mindless Junk. It doesn't belong here.
Edit 2: Thanks, Smasher.

Unfortunate to hear this, but he seemed very weak in an interview he gave recently. He WAS famous for being granted permission to smoke in his car as long as a safety car was on track, so his lungs probably failed. But still, a true veteran, very sad to hear this.
