» Paul Tracy Mulling Retirement: "I saw him dying in front of my eyes"
An amazing read. Paul Tracy is one of my favorite personalities in all of auto racing. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, even about himself and his doubts.
“I’m not a 20-year old kid anymore. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and what I saw when they wheeled Dan into that medical unit is something I’ll never forget. I saw him dying in front of my eyes, and that memory is etched into my brain forever. I don’t need to drive anymore. At this point, I’m not in equipment that allows me to win races, anyway. I am doing this purely out of ego. I spend my own money to do it, and I need to ask myself, `Are the risks worth the reward?’ I think it’s finally time for me to weigh those options and decide if I should look at doing something else.”
