Just saw this as well. Sad day in American Motorsports. RIP #99. One of America's legendary short track racers has died from an apparent self-inflected gun shot wound.

Sad day!!! I saw Dick win a 1985 ASA race at Oswego Speedway, that is how I want to remember him. For that win and for being a short track legend, winning more times than any other short track racer. My thoughts and prayers go out to Dick's family, friends and fans.

RIP Dick.

He use to light up a smoke during caution a flag. What a character.

He would also party until the sun came up, take a power nap, and then go hop in his car for practice.

I'm hearing that he had some pretty serious health issues.
