NASCAR driver Gary Myers, part of a four-generation legacy in auto racing, died Thursday, Sept. 10, according to a social media post by his son Burt. He was 76.
"Last night I lost my hero," Burt Myers wrote on Facebook. "He fought so hard but was so tired. My daddy is in Heaven and can finally do the things he wanted to do the last several years. Thank God for the times we had. He taught me everything I know. Selfishly I want him here but I know he is much better off now. I miss him so much. I love you Daddy!"
Myers was on the starting line for NASCAR Winston Cup races every year from 1974-78, twice finishing as high as 11th.
