RIP Paul, you were one of the all-time greats.

He will always be my hero. Winning races well past retirement age.

Newman became interested in auto racing while filming the movie "Winning" in 1968, and quickly became a race car enthusiast. Over the years he won four Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) championships, won the GTS class in the 1995 24 hour race at Daytona, and sponsored race teams. In January 2005 Newman, then 79, escaped from his burning race car after it spun on track at the Daytona Beach circuit. He was not injured in the accident.
If we only all could do it so good on so many levels. RIP |
He was the man. RIP!
|
Man. That makes me very sad. There's one less star shining in the sky, but he will never be forgotten.
|
Sad news indeed. He will be missed in both racing and charity. More than just an actor his charitable contributions are significant.

What a shock! A truly multi-talented man, and a man of great generosity. He'll be missed.
|
It is a sad day for motorsport and film. Newman was a man to be emulated and respected deeply. He will be missed.
RIP |
awww, this was such sad news to come home to after a short trip. He was so much more than a typical actor not just because of his interest in motorsports but because of the tremendous and authentic passion he had for it. :crying:
