Poetry in motion...

April 14 (Reuters) - A Texas man used a gun to commit suicide in the
infield of a National Rifle Association-sponsored NASCAR race at the
Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth late on Saturday, local authorities
said.

Kirk Franklin, 42, of nearby Saginaw died after shooting himself at
10:30 p.m. on Saturday during the NRA 500 Sprint Cup race, according
to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.

Franklin was involved in a verbal altercation with other race
spectators before the incident, said Daniel Segura, a Fort Worth
Police Department spokesman.

Franklin's body was found in the back seat of a truck, according to an
online police report. (Reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee;

I think he was exercising his right to kill himself neatly (but not
cleanly) and was celebrating it at the marriage of his two favorite
earthly associations, Nascar and the NRA.

Power to the brotherhood of armaments and ammo and big block motors.
