Retired stock-car driver Dick Trickle, known for his colorful name and
short-track prowess, died on Thursday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 71.
The Lincoln County Communications Center received a call, apparently
from Trickle, that "there would be a dead body and it would be his."
Center workers tried to place a return call to the number but did not
get an answer.
Trickle, a native of Wisconsin, has been a resident of Lincoln County
since the early 1990s. His only victory in NASCAR's premier series was a
non-points victory in the 1990 Winston Open.
Not that this story is particular newsworthy-- I just wanted to blog that headline.
