NASCAR Veteran Dick May died June 9, 2009, at Harrisburg NC following a long illness.  The Watertown NY native moved to North Carolina in 1967 to begin competing in the NASCAR Grand National series.  May competed in 185 races before retiring from the sport in 1985.  During his career he was known for his ability to qualify cars and avoid crashing. May was also quite active as a relief driver, often filling in for fatigued drivers during NASCAR events. In the 1975 Mason Dixon 500, May drove five cars for five separate owners but never completed the race. A broken throttle linkage with five laps to go sidelined him.
