One of the tweets:
I remember when Dick Trickle finally won a #NASCAR Busch race, Hickory '97. In Victory Lane he says "I get free beer, right?"

Oh, that's sad news. I used to watch him at the La Crosse speedway when I was a kid. Number 99. There's a "Dick Trickle 99" race held during the Oktoberfest race weekend.

RIP. I am originally from NC and used to drive by that cemetery every so often when I'd visit my parents (I lived in Charlotte). Sad.

that's sad.

I remember him smoking on the grid at the homestead races... a real good old boy

RIP.
