The @MotorsportsHOF regrets to report the passing of 2003 Inductee Bill Simpson following a stroke. His racing career began as a driver then he became a pioneer in racing safety that assures his impact on motorsports will live forever. #mshfa #heroesofhorsepower @DISupdates
Bill was vilified by @NASCAR after Dale Earnhardt’s death...and it was thoroughly disgusting.
The entire sport knew Dale taunted death w/his “style” of “safety”, yet Bill was made to look like the bad guy.
I hope Bill and his family found closure. #RIPBillSimpson

Just spoke with Bill Simpson on the phone a couple weeks ago. There’s a lot of people in this world, but not many of what I call game changers. Bill was a game changer. RIP.

Bill Simpson
Smartest man I ever had the chance to know. He was one-of-a-kind. Bill was a pioneer, a gentlemen, fun, funny & great to be around.
I’ll never forget his kindness when my son Paul died. I hope they’re enjoying the other side free from the worries of the physical. #RIPBillSimpson
He saved countless lives with his motorsports safety innovations. He was a fine driver in everything from Indy cars to dragsters. He lived a colorful, unforgettable life.
Thank you, Bill Simpson, for everything you did for motorsports. Godspeed, racer. https://t.co/JHjVpEiKW4

There is literally no way to even keep count of how many racing drivers owe their lives and their good health to safety pioneer Bill Simpson. On behalf of fans everywhere: Thank you, Bill. #RIPBillSimpson
Knowing Bill Simpson was an honor. We shared many laughs. I have always thought I might not still be here if it weren’t for Bill. #RIPBillSimpson
Remember going into Simpson Race Products to get my first ever suit. Was so nervous. It was crossing a threshold into a world I had only dreamed of. #RIPBillSimpson

In the late 60s, Bill Simpson took nomex material used by NASA and made racing suits out of it. He would pour gasoline over himself and be lit on fire to prove how safe the suits were.
One of the biggest influences in racing safety passed away today at the age of 79. RIP Bill
Sad to hear about the passing of Bill Simpson. Founder of @SimpsonRacing. A legend and pioneer of our sport. There is no telling how many lives he has saved. This safety belt will never forget him. #RIPBillSimpson
🙏 A friend to everyone who knew him. You will be missed my friend! #RIPBillSimpson
Today the racing world lost a pioneer & an innovator, and I lost a friend. Everyone knows how important Bill Simpson was to racing, and how he famously would light himself on fire, but who knew that @GanassiChip supposedly lit that very first match? RIP Bill. We’ll miss you.
Sad to hear about the passing of Bill Simpson. A pioneer, and a legend in the sport I love so much. Thank you for the innovations and ideas that protect the drivers and teams. Your legacy will live on as long as there are motorsports. #RIPBillSimpson
