Sammy Pizzolato Passes
Today we lost a real original Sammy Pizzolato. World Champ 1988 died from complications with Covid 19, along with other problems. He will be missed by all who knew him. More information as it becomes available.

Re: Sammy Pizzolato Passes
Damn I really hate hearing this. Only meet him once but was a pleasure to talk to in lanes at Indy. Kept hoping I could get my car fast enough to give him a race. He will be missed. RIP Sammy.

Re: Sammy Pizzolato Passes
Oh, no! Sammy was always one of my favorites. I recently ran into the best friend of his wife in Wash DC and we had great laughs talking about him. So sad. Prayers for his family. The Dago is gone to fish in a much better place!
