Ah, jeez, Spaw...I clicked on the picture with the article and found the following...made me cry all over, again, what a class act and so well-loved, as well as so loving. I am really glad he got that last lap:

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Lime Rock Park was closed down for an hour and
half today to honor Paul Newman. He was attended
by his family, close friends, Skip Barber, mechanics
on his race team, and those who happened to be at
the track. PLN toured the track in his Corvette race
car with his Buick V8 powered Volvo station wagon
following. He had come to say goodbye. Diagnosed
with terminal cancer he is not expected to live beyond
September. Race driver, actor, humanitarian, family
man and friend, they did not come any better."
