RIP, he was one of the colorful fellows who made watching NASCAR so much more entertaining back then than it is now. I have a 1/18 diecast of one of his cars, just for giggles, wished he’d win one, just for the post-race interview.

Morgan Sheppard is about the last of the old timers still running a limited schedule.
Dave Marcis was in his 70s when he finally retired. He wore loafers to drive.

What a waste. Suicide is never the answer to suffering.

...he was one of the colorful fellows who made watching NASCAR so much more entertaining back then than it is now...My favorite interview by him was when Geoff Bodine wanted to be called 'Geoffrey'. He said there were too many 'Jeff's in the garage.
So, Trickle asked the commentator to start calling him 'Richard'. He said there were too many 'Dick's in the garage.

Emergency units found the body lying near the victim's assailant's dead man's pickup truck when they arrived.

I suspect Trickle got the news he had inoperable lung cancer. As a young teen I watched my grandad die a long slow and very painful death due to lung cancer and he wasn’t a smoker. I can sympathize with mr trickle if that was indeed the case.
