Without pension, NASCAR stars forgotten
Posted by DarthDilbert at 2/07/2007 01:21:00 PM
The living room of Sam Ard's brown doublewide trailer speaks to his short but successful NASCAR career. Trophies surround the fireplace and crowd its mantel. Plaques and pictures dot the living room walls. What's not there speaks to Ard's life after NASCAR, the two championship rings and a handful of grandfather clocks from Martinsville Speedway that he sold because "we was running short on cash." Unlike veterans of other sports, Ard has no pension to fall back on.
A fund has been set up to help the Ard's. If you want to assist Sam and Jo, send your contribution to:
