I used to work for a company that was based in rural NYS. I traveled to HQ one day, and it was NASCAR Driver Day as a fun thing (a bit foreign to me, as that’s not much of a thing where we are). I got “who’s your driver” a bunch that day, and Dick Trickle was my choice, as that’s the only one I could conjure up at first when asked, and I stuck with it. Most chucked, one guy shook his head and said “you’d think he’d go by ‘Richard.’”
Ah, Dick Trickle, what a name, right?Dude was a racing legend in the ’80s, tearing up the short tracks like nobody’s business.He had more wins in a year than I’ve had hot dinners!Plus, that name…
Damn dude I didn’t know Dick Trickle killed himself. Shit. Guy had chronic pain and the doctors couldn’t find the source. RIP you and your epic name. I didn’t even watch NASCAR and I knew who Dick Trickle was. 12 year olds don’t forget something like that.
He also looks like Jeremy Clarkson’s American cousin
You know they have medicine for that
Incredible name
Dan Patrick every race be like: Dick Trickle finished 37th. It wasn’t until I was older that I appreciated his dedication to the bit.
Trickle used to keep his cigs in the car with him.
If they ever do a movie dedicated to that era of racing Bryan Cranston should absolutely play the role.
NASCAR’s oldest Rookie of the Year ever, at the age of 47 – although by then he was a veteran of circle track racing in the Midwest.

Looks like Lee Majors crossed with Nick Nolte
Sadly, he took his own life in 2013.
Any relation to Cole Trickle? Days of Thunder anyone?!
He had some solid short track skills.

“😧…what? He’s a race car driver, and his name is Dick Trickle!.. Oh my God listen to my voice, I’m so loud!”
Looks like Hal from Malcolm in the middle
The 12 year old in me always liked that name.
Encapsulates the 70s hangover so well!
The pride of Wisconsin Rapids!
Possibly the greatest name ever
Cool name
