The sad news has started again - Danny Pardi

[Howie]

I just learned that Danny Pardi passed away this afternoon (Friday). He died from the effects of an infection after being brought to the hospital Thursday.

Danny had been involved in racing in various capacities for many years. Most recently at Stafford Motor Speedway and New England Antique Racers.

Arrangements have not yet been made. Visit Courant.com for an updated obituary later this weekend.

There is a nice tribute by Pete Zanardi on The Speedway Line Report website HERE (http://www.thespeedwaylinereport.com/Releases/DEC07/12-29-07DANNY.htm)

RIP Danny.
