Sad day for motorsport.
I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

I just read this sad news on the internet. Paul Newman lived his life to the fullest and gave so much to others and will be missed in the racing world and everywhere else. He was one of the best.

"He was smiling...That's right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn't know it 'fore, they could tell right then that they weren't a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Old Luke, he was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he's a natural-born world-shaker."

One of the classiest men to ever grace a race car, both as a driver and an owner. When so many others of his ilk played the rich boy card, Paul was humble and a friend to all who approached him as a driver or owner. He wanted NOTHING to do with his other life while he was at the track.
I wish this news had been public prior to David Letterman's show taping yesterday. I await what he will have to say on Monday. I know there will be a tear in David's eye. He thought a lot of Paul, as did we all.
RIP, Paul, you will be missed but NEVER forgotten.

A class act in all aspects of his life. The world is a poorer place for his passing.
