Rodney Orr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rodney Orr was a NASCAR driver. Originally from Robbinsville, North Carolina, he lived in Palm Coast, Florida, at the time of his death. He was the 1993 Goody's Dash Series champion. However, before he could gain mainstream success, Orr was killed in practice before the 1994 Daytona 500. He gained attention again after the death of Dale Earnhardt when his autopsy photos as well as pop star Lisa Lopes were displayed on the internet. Dale's widow Theresa testified before Congress to ensure Earnhardt's autopsy photos (or anyone else's for that matter) would not be published in a similar fashion.

Survivors are his wife, Crystal Orr, and daughter, Ashton Orr.
