{ 1 }. - Today, May 10, 2012, Everett "Cotton" Owens was laid to rest in a private ceremony in his hometown of Spartanburg, South Carolina. He died last Thursday, age 88, after a long battle with lung cancer just two weeks after an announcement that he would be inducted into the NASCAR HALL of FAME in the 2013 class. Newspapers everywhere are carrying the same message "Cotton" Owens was inducted into the National Motorsports press Association's Hall of Fame in 1970, named one of NASCAR'S 50 greatest drivers in 1998 and in 2013 he will be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
