" It&amp;#039;s been 2 1/2 months since Carroll Shelby died and he will finally be buried. His body has been in a Dallas morgue since this death on May 10 and in the meantime there has been a battle between Shelby&amp;#039;s three children and his last wife, Cleo. His children \u2013 Michael, Patrick and Sharon \u2013 claimed Shelby had signed a statement that he should be cremated and his ashes split into four parts, one for each of them, the fourth for a plot in East Texas. Cleo Shelby disputed this claim, saying she had a directive giving her the rights to his affairs. All this was headed for a civil trial on July 26, 2012 but both sides have now settled the matter. Under the new agreement, Shelby&amp;#039;s ashes will be divided five ways, one for each of his children, one for the burial plot and another for Cleo Shelby. So one of America&amp;#039;s great sports car heroes will finally be laid to rest. The man who won so many races in the U.S. before co-driving to a win in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans with Roy Salvadori in an Aston Martin. Ironically, Salvadori died on June 3, just weeks after Shelby. Retiring due to heart troubles, Shelby went on to create the Cobra and will be celebrated at this year&amp;#039;s Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and Goodwood&amp;#039;s Revival. There was also a time when Shelby was aligned with Chrysler, helping create the Viper before returning to Ford. One of the ironies in Shelby&amp;#039;s drawn-out burial is that when you&amp;#039;d meet him and ask how he was, he&amp;#039;d often say, &amp;quot;Well, I&amp;#039;m on the right side of the grass.&amp;quot; Related posts:  Roy Salvadori \u2013 Carroll Shelby&amp;#039;s Le Mans Teammate Passes Shelby Cobra 50th Reunion at NHRA Museum in 2012 Shelby Being Honored at Auburn Fall Collector Car Weekend  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
