Lloyd Seay
Carl D. "Lightning" Lloyd Seay (December 14, 1919 – September 2, 1941) was an early stock car racing driver from Georgia. NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr. described Seay as the "best pure race driver I ever saw".〔 He was shot to death by his cousin over a moonshine operation. His last name was pronounced as "See".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carl D. "Lightning" Lloyd Seay )〕
Seay came from a racing family. His cousin Roy Hall was a racer who was the subject of the Jim Croce song "Rapid Roy, that Stock Car Boy".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roy Hall )〕 Another cousin, Raymond Parks, was the owner of NASCAR's first Strictly Stock (now Sprint Cup) championship car.
==Moonshine runner==
A Georgia deputy described Seay, "He was without a doubt the best automobile driver of this time. He was absolutely fearless, and an excellent driver on those dusty, dirt roads. I caught him eight times and had to shoot his tires off every time."〔 A different deputy described another night when he pulled Seay over for speeding as he was transporting a load of moonshine through a city north of Atlanta. After he gave the deputy two five dollar bills, the officer said, "Dammit Lloyd, you know the fine for speedin' ain't but five dollars" Seay replied, "Yeah, but I'm gon' be in a hurry comin' back, so I'm payin' an advance."
