My brother and I had a go-cart with Fireball 500 painted in back in the early 60s. Sitting in the infield early turn 1 at Charlotte when the accident happened. We heard the wreck and had fleeting glimpses through the crowd. All we really say was thick black smoke rising quickly. Just kept watching for Fireball to round the track in front of us and it never happened. Had no idea how badly he was hurt until the next day when Dad got home from work and he told us. This informative video was the first I've ever heard of his having asthma, We had met him a couple times at Greenville Pickens Speedway where my Dad worked weekends. He was really nive and a favorite of all the kids along with Tiny Lund who always had time to play with the track kids after a race. I wore #22 in all three sports all thru little leagues thru high school. RIP Hero.
