    Paul Newman has died

    Mostly known of course as one of the best actors ever, Paul was also very active in motor racing, not so much as a driver, although he did some quality racing including winning the 1995 24 Hour Daytona race,, but more as the owner of various famous teams, including the Newman-Haas team.

    May he rest in peace

    I'm sorry to see such a hardworking philantropist die. He was truly a great man who in the crazy world of Showbusiness showed it's possible to do good.

    Rest in Peace.

    Wow, shame.

    I only knew of his work in Cars, but I was planning to see some of his earlier movies.

    A good guy all around, the actor will be missed.

    He was a great supporter of indy car racing.

    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.
