Dick Trickle Dies In Apparent Suicide At Age 71

CONCORD, N.C. — There is that lasting image of Dick Trickle in the Winston 500 lighting up a cigarette while driving his stock car with his knees during a caution lap.
He places the cigarette through a hole he carved in his helmet for a quick toke and exhales.
The green flag hits and out the window goes the cigarette butt and back to racing goes Trickle.
"Dick always had a cigarette lighter in his car," said fellow NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine.
Trickle was a unique driver with a unique name who found cult-like status before his death Thursday.
Trickle, whose larger-than-life personality and penchant for fun won him legions of fans despite a lack of success beyond the nation's small tracks, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. He was 71.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said authorities received a call believed to be from Trickle, who said "there would be a dead body and it would be his." Authorities tried to call the number back, but no one answered.
Trickle's body was found near his pickup truck at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Boger City, N.C., about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte. Sheriff's Lieutenant Tim Johnson said foul play was not suspected.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Dick Trickle on his passing today," NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said. "Dick was a legend in the short-track racing community, particularly in his home state of Wisconsin, and he was a true fan favorite. Personalities like Dick Trickle helped shape our sport. He will be missed."
He competed in more than 300 Cup races. Although he never won a Cup race and won only two Busch Series races, Trickle earned cult status in the 1990s.
Former ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann would regularly mention where Trickle finished after talking about each NASCAR race. It caught on and drew snickers from race fans around the country.
Bodine said there was only one way to describe Trickle, a native of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.
"Fun," Bodine said. "Just plain fun."
"People everywhere knew his name," Bodine said. "That's why they used his likeness in that movie `Days of Thunder.' He was such a character."

No matter how tough things get for you NEVER commit suicide!! 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and Ecclesiastes 7:17 among others. We're not allowed to take out anybody before their time...not even ourselves!! You never know what tomorrow will bring because after the rain comes the rainbow, but after you take your own life either by bullet, walking at night in a nigra neighborhood or by having an accident during your nightly session of auto-erotic asphyxiation, the only place for you is HELL!!!!
Mark 9:48 Don't let this happen to you! God will kill you when He's ready and all too soon, so just wait for it!!
