Sorry to hear of the loss.

ya maybe it was partly my fault cause I posted it like a news article rather than saying one of my dad's best friends died..
I grew up watching this guy race sprint cars locally in the 80's. After the rich people shut down the track cause of the noise he raced more competitively. I remember back in the 90's watching him race on ESPN.
from the link I posted Tony Stewart the NASCAR driver posted about the loss. I read on comments from one of the news articles that Stewart prolly just did that to get in the news and didn't know Tony Elliot but Stewart up till last year still raced sprint cars. Also the championships that Tony Elliot won in 98' and 00'.. Well Stewart won that in 95' so they raced together many times. Tony Stewart is also from Indiana and I seen him race at my hometown track a longtime ago..
It's just really sad for all the families involved.
