Chris Trickle, who races in NASCAR’s SouthWest Tour Division, was found shot on the overpass just south of the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night. The 24-year-old nephew of Winston Cup regular Dick Trickle is hospitalized at University Medical Center with a bullet lodged in his brain. He was driving a Chrysler convertible on the overpass when he was apparently shot. The car left the roadway and crashed into a highway sign. While it is not directly WC news, I wanted to report this story out of respect for Dick Trickle(2-10-97).
Trickle is in very critical condition at University Medical Center after surgery to remove a bullet in his head(2-11-97).
Trickle has been upgraded to Serious from Critical(2-16-97).
I hear Trickle is still in a coma(3-3-97)
