Yea, that's messed up. The guy was 71 years old. I wonder what flipped that switch.

I think that thread we had made making fun of his name was the last straw...

I feel kind of bad now...

Yea, I think he just gave up.

Wonder if it will come out that he had something terminal and didn't want to suffer?

This is what I thought. Then I wondered if there was some significance to the cemetery he chose? Did someone close to him die recently or someone who he thought he couldn't live without?

TMZ has the 911 call. He called and told dispatch exactly where to find him and everything. The cemetary just has to have some sort of significance for him to go to that length.

Dang, its sad. If you guys havent seen it, look up him smoking during a caution in his car. its a classic.

Can you imagine the fine he would endure if he pulled that now? NASCAR's political correctness bullshit team would be in damage control out their asses.

Jeffro. They wouldn't allow him to have the cigs and the lighter in the car to begin with and all helmets are mandated to be full-faced and closed. So his open-faced helmet would not be allowed. His era driver would not fly these days in the WWE, choreographed, corporate bullshit of boring NASCAR racing.

An article came out today he was suffering from chronic pains, notably one in his chest that he had for a short time, but Dr's couldn't figure out what was causing it. He also lost a granddaughter in a car accident, and she was buried in that cemetery.

Tragic.

Hey Bored. I sorta figured it had to be a number of things for him to stick a gun in his mouth.
