Several weeks ago, while speaking with a public relations representative from one of the country’s major racetracks, Paul Newman’s name entered the conversation.

The PR person, whose name I’ll protect, told me
that in the final months of his life, Newman visited some of his favorite racetracks.

With very few people aware, Newman drove the courses he visited.

Newman, who died Sept. 26, was known throughout the world for his acting and philanthropic pursuits. But it was always driving race cars where Newman was the most comfortable. And it’s nice to know he able to experience his great passion for automobiles and race car driving as he approached death.
