May Chase Pistone’s memory be for a blessing

The NASCAR world mourns the passing of Chase Pistone, 10-time competitor in NASCAR’s national series and Legends car driver and team owner.He was a four-time champion of the Summer Shootout in Legends, credited with over 80 feature wins across short-track categories. He was also the grandson of “Tiger Tom” Pistone, a two-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner. Chase was 42 years old.

His brother, Nick, has asked outlets to promote the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which anyone can call or text any time at 988.

The racing public doesn’t know much more than that, but we don’t have to in order to hold one of our own — and his family, friends, colleagues, and competitors — in our hearts.
