I hated how NASCAR attempted to discredit him after spending a lifetime helping improve race car safety after Dale Earnhardt's death....He was such a safety innovator and probably saved thousands of drivers lives over the years with his products. RIP Bill.

A true American success story.  Many racers are alive today because of his innovations.  Many more did not experinece serious injuries because of his products.

I remember when he put on a Simpson drivers suit,  poured fuel over him and lit it to prove its saFETY.

It wasn't just NASCAR that tried to discredit Bill Simpson.  There were more than a few very vocal die-hard Earnhardt fans (a lot more than a few) who raised holy-hell againsts this great man whose company made racing as safe as possible for the time.  Shame on them!


Lawlessness + liberalism = HELL -  NYC, Detroit, Chicago, 
Seattle, LA  Who the H runs those cities.
