NASCAR Writer David Poole Dies
NASCAR Journalist David Poole Dies
NASCAR has lost one of its very best writers and broadcasters. David Poole passed away Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at his home in Stanfield, North Carolina.
David was the lead Motorsports writer for the Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com. He also hosted The Morning Drive on Sirius Satellite Radio.
David was a fixture in the NASCAR media center at racetracks almost every week.
He had a reputation for being tough, but fair. And always having his facts straight. David was highly respected by NASCAR officials from Brian France on down, as well as team owners, crew members, drivers and fans.
Dale Earnhardt Jr had this to say about Mr. Poole: “David was as much a fixture in this sport as the actual cars themselves.”
David Poole was 50.
