Perhaps nobody here will remember the man or care very much, but I thought it was worth mentioning that longtime open-wheel guy Phil LePan passed away a few weeks ago.

Phil was at Forsythe for a long time, including during PT's 2003 championship season. Most recently, he was with Coyne and had done quite a bit of the work to turn them into a more professional organization. I only had the pleasure of talking to him a few very brief times, but he was a top class guy and will be sorely missed by many in motorsports.

Rest in peace, Phil.

RIP--I remember LePan from Tracy's championship season. :( There's a good article about him on speedtv.com, complete with an amusing story from Tagliani:
