I was saddened to learn of the sudden death on Tuesday of motorsports journalist David Poole, who suffered a fatal heart attack just hours after completing his morning radio show on Sirius.
Mr.Poole's last column happened to run on the day of his death. A longtime motorsports columnist at the Charlotte Observer, David Poole was the NASCAR fan's journalist. Mr.Poole was never a politically correct patsy. He was not shy about letting his opinions be known.
I will miss Mr.Poole's commentaries and his keen insight on news of interest in racing. He was very passionate about NASCAR and about the sport staying true to its roots. The racing world has lost a great journalist. NASCAR fans have lost an effective spokesperson. Rest in peace,David Poole. You will be greatly missed.
