Richard "Dick" Trickle (October 27, 1941 – May 16, 2013) was an American race car driver. He raced for decades around the short tracks of Wisconsin, winning many championships along the way. Trickle competed in the ASA, ARTGO, ARCA, All Pro, IMCA, NASCAR, and USAC. In more than an estimated 2,200 races, Trickle logged one million laps and is believed to have won over 1,200 feature races.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Retired NASCAR Driver Dick Trickle Commits Suicide )〕 He was billed as the winningest short track driver in history.〔Grubba, page 214〕 Trickle's career highlights include racing to 67 wins in 1972, winning seven ARTGO Championships in nine years between 1979 to 1987, winning back to back ASA AC-Delco Challenge championships in 1984 and 1985, the 1968 USAC Stock Car rookie of the year, and winning the 1989 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award in what was then called the Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup). Trickle was nicknamed the "White Knight" as referenced by his sponsored SuperAmerica paint scheme, when he raced in Wisconsin.〔Grubba; page 177〕 ==Early life== Eight-year-old Dick Trickle was playing tag with his cousin Verlon on the rafters in a house under construction when he fell two floors to the basement and broke his hip.〔Grubba, page 20〕 He was transferred from a local hospital to the University of Wisconsin Hospital with slow recovery.〔 His recovery was so slow that the doctors gave up and sent him home, presuming that he would be an invalid for the rest of his life.〔 Trickle later began to walk, although he walked with a slight limp for the rest of his life.〔Grubba, pages 211–222〕 He spent three years in a cast from his waist to his foot.〔 While he was recovering as a nine-year-old, a friend took him to his first races at Crown Speedway in his hometown of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.〔 "When I got there I was flabbergasted," Trickle said. "I thought it was the neatest thing. Free shows were nothing compared to it. That race never left my mind until I was 16. I knew I was going to drive a race car when I was 16."〔 Trickle married his wife Darlene in 1961.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Dick and Darlene Trickle a Long Lasting Love )〕 They originally lived at his grandmother's house for a while before they bought a trailer on someone else's property.〔 His nephew, Chris Trickle, was a race car driver before dying in a drive-by shooting.
