Rowdy was very successful obviously, and I am saddened to hear of his passing, but I wasn't much of a fan when he was driving that M&M car.
Similar to Tony Stewart when he was in the Home Depot livery. Also successful.
This says more about me than the drivers I suppose, they won a lot of races in their cup careers.
This is a shocker, 41 YO. RIP Rowdy.

A tremendous loss every musician and fan of Jazz should feel deeply.
My favorite album Way Out West recorded by legendary engineer Roy DuNann. RIP Sonny Rollins

I was aware of Mr. Lemieux's reputation on the ice.
I was unaware of the esteem with which he was held by clients and team general managers as an agent for hockey players. (gift link below)
