RIP old man. You had one heck of a run.
They should be at half staff at every track in America. The sport has changed so much in just 20 years that we will never see anything like him again. That first Arlington Million race is one of my most vivid memories of the sport. His desire and intelligence and personality combined made him larger than life. Because of that, I thought he'd never die. But in all reality, he never will die. Legends are strange like that!!
