Is it? I'm not so sure. Joe Tessitore also repeatedly referred to that whole business as a "fabulous story." Fabulous? The dude died. If anything it is a sad story. Perhaps it is a fabulous story for ESPN because they always want to have some 'pull at the heartstrings' angle, but that hardly makes it a "fabulous" story for anyone involved.

As for the race itself....it actually made me nostalgic for the Jazil-Bluegrass Cat-Sunriver race from a few years back....which is saying a lot.
