Chris Trickle

Chris Trickle was an American stock car racing driver who competed in the NASCAR Southwest Tour. Born in 1972, he began racing motorcycles at eight and turned to stock cars in 1990, winning late model rookie of the year at Las Vegas Speedway Park in 1992 and finishing second in the 1993 Southern California Sportsman Series. He later raced in the NASCAR Southwest Series and the West Series, appeared on the Winter Heat series on television, and was due to join the Craftsman Truck Series in 1997. In February 1997 he was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas and died of his wounds in March 1998. The crime remains unsolved, and Nevada's Chris Trickle bill removed the time limit on murder prosecutions in 1999.
