My late brother was a volunteer corner worker at Road Atlanta on some weekends back in the 80s. He saw Paul Newman race there several times, and even spoke to him once when he pulled up beside him on a mini bike.

I saw Paul Newman once shortly before he died at a CART race in Cleveland...
... He was on a stage right in front of me. I could have reached out and touched him, if not for the fence between us.
BTW, Paul Tracy was standing next to him at the time also.

So you saw Paul Newman at a CART race ... before he died of cancer at his home
I do not think he died at a CAR race

Paul Newman died of lung cancer
Wikipedia says Newman died on the morning of September 26, 2008 in the presence of his family. It didn't say where.
