Tim Wilson, a comic who incorporated country music into his act, died Wednesday after suffering a heart attack. He was 52. Wilson was known for his Southern humor, which included penning and performing songs like "Jeff Gordon's Gay" and "Garth Brooks Ruined My Life" as a part of his act. He is probably best known for his comedy tune "The NASCAR song." Wilson was a regular on the syndicated radio program "The Bob & Tom Show." Wilson's final appearance was in Macon, at the American Heart Association's Cardiac Cafe on Feb. 8.
