I've been searching for you, but yeah, I can't find much on him either, only that he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.\nI guess when he was famous the internet wasn't around.

I went to a race at Richmond a few years back and Dale Sr. still sells more merchandise as any other driver.  I actualy heard someone say, "he has been dead for three years and he still sells more then any other driver."

In my personal opinion {no facts to back it up}I believe he was killed. I recall back when that happened, September of 1970. Things didnt sound right about his death and thats why all these years, I've believed he was killed off.

He was a great pitcher in the 70's I think... He was one of the first pitchers to use an effective sidearm throw.  He was well respected and one of the leaders in his time.  I would try to find out more about him and try to contact him.  He really seems like a great guy! (Good Luck!!)

He died on September 4, 1964.  Not sure how.  Probably old age since he was 80.

(edit) The following quoted from a page on ESPN. Please follow the link below to view the source.\n\nJones' lack of commitment to attending production meetings has long been an issue, and HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg finally had enough.\n\n"Roy was not able to give us the commitment we needed as a broadcaster," Greenburg said. "It was an issue of time, effort and preparation. He is still an active fighter."

Yes, He was arrested last week in Florida on charges concerning improper behavior with a minor...\n\nHere is a quote of his to RacerX-\n\n"What it looks like it is - what it says it is - it's not. It's not that,"

Dale Earndhart is not the only NASCAR driver to die, though maybe the most famous.\nLet us not forget the great Davey Allison who died in a helicopter accident arriving at Talledaga, I believe in 1993 if I'm wrong about the year I apologize.I do remember he held the points lead at the time of his accident and held the lead over Dale Earndhart for 4 more races after his death.\nAlso let's not forget Adam Petty who died during a practice session at N.H.I.S.( Richard "THE KING" Pettys' grandson)\nAnother accident at N.H.I.S. claimed the life of John Nemecheck\n( "Front Row Joe Nemecheks' brother )\n\nEarndhart may be the most well remembered, but lets not forget the rest of the great drivers who gave their lives doing something they love to do and something we love to watch.\n\nP.S. to angi he was #3 not #8 thats Jr.

Possibly, but not as a driver. He last drove the Indianapolis 500 in 1996 (for John Menard's team),  replacing Scott Brayton who was killed during practice for the race.

Yes, it is such a huge loss. He was a very talented man. My prayers go out to his family, especially the children.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you he passed away.  :-(\n\nSometimes... can't believe it has been over 25 years.\n\nhttp://www.commondreams.org/views05/1208-33.htm
