"He fought like a warrior when he was on death's door," a weeping DiBella said. "There will be all these people who will come out and say this is the brutality of our sport. It is, but this was also something where you can't blame people. Nobody blames auto racing when guys die hitting walls driving 200 miles per hour because it's not poor kids who race cars.

He wanted to be a world champion, and that's what he became."

"He died living his dream."
