Absolutely right on!  Thanks for that post.

I really don't think most race fans realize just what a loss the motorsports world had today with Economaki's passing....Even F1 fans in America have to grieve because of his work with David Hobbs. Indy 500 fans would not have gotten such wonderful pit lane interviews over the years if it weren't for him. National Speed Sport News continues to be a force in motorsports journalism, all thanks to this great man.

We've lost the Dean of Motorsports journalism. As Andretti once said, “If he wasn’t aware of you, you simply were not a factor in the sport”....Well said, Mario. Damn right.
