He was a great one. Always thought he would have made a great Indy driver.

There was a period of time that Dave Steele was just a force of nature on pavement tracks, in our type of racing. Dominant in a way that very few drivers ever become. This is a huge loss. R.I.P.

I'm glad (thanks to Tony George & the teams he was with) that he got a SHOT...just wish it woulda been on some more solid deals & idk if he had ANY rear-engine laps BEFORE Indycars? (Ran "Infiniti Pro Series" AFTERwards)...

Wiki - "Steele attempted to make his Indy Racing League IndyCar Series debut in 1996 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for ABF Motorsports but failed to qualify. He made his first start in 1998 at Phoenix International Raceway, the second race of the season, driving for RSM Marko, then drove in the final two races of the year for Panther Racing."

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.
