Definitely a sad day and the end of an era.......

I know he sued Factory Five Racing over their cobra replica and FFR won, but other than a bad Zmax commercial where he doesn't even say anything about Zmax, was he really that bad?

Was he doing anything that Mario Andretti isn't doing? Watching the Darlington race, I just saw Mario Andretti for GoDaddy.com. Being 30 years old, I honestly don't remember Mario Andretti doing anything other than commercials for Magnaflow and making an occasional appearance on Home Improvement. I don't blame him though, talk about income!

My wife's childhood friend races late models (I think) in florida. I don't remember what series, but he races when he saves up some money. Anyway, he happens to get selected to be the crew chief on a Kyle Bush commercial. In the commercial, he can be seen saying "let's go home Kyle", and that's it. He gets a check every time that commercial airs. From that one commercial, his little boy's college is already payed for. Can you imagine how much Shelby made from Zmax alone? Why not use your name and provide money for your family for years to come?

I still have respect for the man. Definitely a legend.

Look into his charity and you'll see he really is worse than that! May the old, fu(k rot in hell.
