## Resource

Rick Treadway, son of Indy legend Fred Treadway, died at 56 in a motorcycle crash—his racing soul lived loud. Rising through junior ranks, he debuted in IRL in 2001 with Treadway-Hubbard, finishing fifth at Texas—a race delayed by 9/11. He raced at Indy 500 in 2002, qualifying 17th ahead of giants, then crashed before halfway, finishing 29th. His short but fierce career honored his family’s legacy and proved he belonged on the biggest stage. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
