From Jayski

Wanda Lund-Early, widow of former NASCAR legend Tiny Lund, was shot to death Thursday night at her home in Waynesville, N.C., Roland Via, webmaster for tinylund.com website, confirmed shortly after noon. Via, of Holly Hill, said Lund-Early was planning to be in Daytona Beach for the February Speed Weeks to receive an award for Tiny from Victory Lane Racing Association. Details are sketchy, and no further information could be obtained from North Carolina law enforcement officials although Via said he was notified today. "She was a great ambassador and made a lot of appearances at the legends' banquets and activities," said Buzz McKim, historian for the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. "She was as little as he was huge and they were a great couple." Lund died in a 1975 crash at Talladega Superspeedway.

How horrible. May she rest in peace.

So it was suicide, not murder??

So it was suicide, not murder??

Jayski says that it "Looked like a self-inflicted gunshot wound."
