I just love when people are forward-thinking and have a passion for cars, whether they’re sports cars or these (NASCAR) cars. I have a bond with anybody that appreciates cars at all, and he was just so into the
automobile. It’s a shame to see him go and we’ll all just remember the mark he left on the sport and automobiles in general. Penske has this deal about appreciating racers and the things they do. He was definitely a racer. Friday afternoon at Darlington Raceway, word began to filter through the NASCAR Sprint Cup garage about the loss of racing legend Carroll Shelby, one of the true heroes and icons of American motorsports. He’ll be missed by everybody at Penske Racing. So I think it’s a day we celebrate his life and just be thankful he touched us. ” — Michael Waltrip. I think it’s a day.
