Passing of a legend

Dan Gurney passed away Sunday January 14,2018 at 86 years old. I can’t believe I’m the first to post this about such a prominent racing legend. He was first to win in all three, NASCAR, Indy, and F1. He won LeMans in 1966 driving a GT40 and invented the champagne shake and spray for racing podiums at that time. Gurney was involved in racing for nearly all his life.
