SAD NEWS: Legendary racer Brian Setterington dies at age 62

Brian Setterington, who died Tuesday, began racing dragsters in 1964.

He moved to dirt ovals before beginning a full time racing career on asphalt in 1970. A regular competitor at Cayuga International Speedway, Brian’s #54 STP sponsored car raced against such notable drivers as Jerry Makara, Don Biederman, Earl Ross and Junior Hanley.

His driving style and mannerism have been compared to those of his sponsor’s American counterpart, Richard Petty. For visitation and funeral information go to www.mccollracing.com.

(Thank you to Jen Ward to contacting me about this, and for putting this notice together... GM)
