I, too, share the grief and sympathy that others have already
expressed over the passing of Greg Moore in this weekend's CART race.
It was, indeed, a tragedy.
But let us not forget that the racing world also lost another
well-known citizen today with the passing, from natural causes, of
Walter Peyton. Although "His Sweetness" made his name in the NFL, he
was also quite active in the racing world after his retirement from
football. His entrance into the racing world marked a major step
forward in the involvement of blacks or African Americans (depending
on how PC you want to be) in this, otherwise, white man's sport. He,
too, will be sorely missed.
