MidOhio's Les Griebling is gone

[RaceGrrl]

Even though the Truemans have done a wonderful job with the facilities at MidOhio, none of it would have been possible without Les Griebling's vision. He died yesterday at age 78.

Thanks Les, and Godspeed. :(

Thanks for every day I've had at the track I cherish, Les.

I didn't know he was still alive. I wish I had had the chance to personally thank him for Mid-Ohio.

The great thing is that his legacy lives on and his family still plays a great role in the success of such a wonderful facility.
