      Didn’t know that. He was also in Basketball. That’s as much as I know beyond he was a race car driver. But you know who else was? Jimmy.

        Usually when I get into a relationship with someone and their kids have had vibes I immediately start abusing them, like no questions asked

      And also could very well have survived the crash that killed him had he been wearing the Head and Neck Support (HANS) device that was available, but not mandatory, at the time. He called it “that damn noose” and claimed the tethers would more likely hang him than save him in the event of a crash. One of the greatest protective devices in motorsport since the helmet and the seatbelt and he eschewed it and suffered the consequences.
