"Big George" Bernard Helms of Talent, Oregon, always wanted to be able to take a NASCAR ride.
Last Friday, he got his wish, more than two months after his death last December.
ESPN has an earlier story here.
His obit, with the link good for a year, is here. You have to search the archives under "Helms."
I went to high school with him in Phoenix, Oregon. He graduated in 1971.
