Delma Cowart, former NASCAR driver passed 11/10 aged 80.

As the late, great Dale Earnhardt once said, he never won a race but he never lost a party.

They sure don't have any personalities in NASCAR like that anymore.

we know, DaveO posted yesterday that he was murdered.
I did mention the MLB player that had covid, yes. Typically we are posting the cause of death on this thread if it's available along with their age. Your article didn't mention it, but when I see they died younger than a typical old age, I'm curious of the cause. I like to be aware of causes of death.

One of the greats of broadway, he actually co-wrote a few songs with Lin Manuel-Miranda for Manuel-Miranda’s wildly popular play, Hamilton. As a theatre geek it’s a HUGE loss to the industry, he will be missed.
