Return calls to the number went unanswered. Crews arriving at the scene found Trickle's body lying near his pickup truck.

The man known as Trickling Dick will go down as a short track legend, in car cigarette smoker and a first ballot Sports Name Hall of Famer with Yogi Berra, Dick Butkus and Rollie Fingers. RIP

He was also widely noted for having drilled a hole in his safety helmet so that he could smoke while racing, and for installing cigarette lighters in his race cars
