He was a complete rageaholic retard, he was actually nicknamed after Michael Rooker's character from Days of Thunder (Rowdy). And he quite literally raced himself to death, he kept racing through severe illness and ignored pneumonia until it turned into sepsis and killed him.

Brilliantly skilled racer though.

I was not a fan but he kind of reminds me of someone like Pete Rose. Rose was an ass at times, but when he was on the field he was there to win and would flat run over you at the plate if you stood between him and a win.

Insane that he was still active through all that. I had nasty flu years ago. Not near death, but so sick there were days I couldn't leave the bed. This guy was on the verge of death and still racing.

Septic pneumonia seems more like a symptom than a disease. Kind of like saying someone died of heart failure. I wonder if there's some underlying thing they're not saying.

Drivers are always coming down with somthing. Lot of stress being in the hot car for hours not moving, getting dehydrated etc...I know they have cool suits on and such but I don't think it's what we would call cool. Plus most drivers race one or two races a weekend. He raced all 3 every time he could which was most. Lot of stress and he wasn't 18 anymore.

We'll see. Could have been something else and he just ignored any medical advice to keep racing. I do wonder if nascar and teams learned their lesson leaking that Tim Richmond had aids.

iirc, dale jr said he would loose up to 15+lbs per race. with the cool tech and hydration system normal to still loose around 8-10.

I'm sure he was on some drug cocktail to suppress his symptoms, since he was still functional while dying. He should have been in a hospital bed.
