David Poole will be missed

David Poole was an important element in satisfying our fix for daily NASCAR news. He was the NASCAR writer for the Charlotte Observer, as well as an active participant on That's Racing.com. He also hosted the Sirius Satellite Radio program The Morning Drive.

He made himself accessible to his readers and fans, often participating in the That's Racing fan forums, and presenting his views in his own blog "Life in The Turn Lane," allowing comments even from those who strongly disagreed with him and were wont to insult him. We feel that a piece of our passion for the sport is missing with his passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
