One of the best known, most read, and most respected racing journalists in America, David Poole, passed away on Tuesday of an apparent heart attack.
Poole worked for the Charlotte Observer newspaper along with a couple of other gigs, like hosting an auto racing show on Sirius radio. His primary beat, which he had been working since 1997, was NASCAR coverage, but he was known to comment on the drags and other topics when necessary. He leaves a big void for someone to fill and it’s probably unfair to expect them to do it as well as Poole did.
