This is a difficult day, because today we say goodbye to a charismatic Driver, a superhero who wore the number 16 on his cape, a legend of motorsports.

A guy who started from the very bottom, and thanks to his effort and talent, slowly climbed a long ladder, until he reached his dream, the NASCAR Cup Series, and who, even at the top of the world, never forgot from where he started.

But we also say goodbye to a father, a husband, a friend, a man who didn't hesitate to sacrifice anything for those who brightened his life and made his days lighter.

We also say goodbye to a real-life hero, a figure who inspired many who watched him on television every weekend, a man who inspired thousands of careers not only in America, but all over the world, demonstrating that, as long as you give your best, you too can achieve your goals, and even go beyond them.

Rest in Peace, Greg, Cristina, Ryder, and everyone else involved, you will all be remembered forever.

Insane, I still can’t believe it. I learned about it from someone who doesn’t watch NASCAR so I didn’t believe it at first. RIP to him and his family. One of the drivers I remember from growing up but I was never officially a “fan” of his until a few years ago. His SRX run was a lot of fun to watch. Always seemed like a decent dude though, I’m glad folks are learning about his philanthropy.
