    RIP Texas Motor Speedway race promoter Eddie Gossage

    This may be a little too inside baseball for anyone who didn't cover auto racing, but Eddie was a real character and tireless promoter for his track in Fort Worth. Learned the trade under the master, Humpy Wheeler, and was one of Bruton's lop lieutenants. 65 is way too darn young. I always...
