Chris Economaki (1920-2012)





Today we lost one of the true giants of the motorsports world, as Chris Economaki passed away at the age of 91.  To be fair, I was a bit too young to have seen and heard him on the tv or radio, but his influence is felt everywhere.  He showed how you could be a responsible journalist while also tirelessly promoting your field (in his case, motorsports).  Influential in all forms of racing, here's hoping that he gets his just due with induction into the media wing of the Nascar Hall of Fame.
