Randy Dorton died in a plane crash on Sunday. He was an amazing engine builder and well liked by all. This is a terrible loss to the sport.

god bless everyone on that plane.

 

I was gonna post about this yesterday when I saw the nascar official give the 'press release' right after the race...but I figured it would probably be a repost (and with all the shame of reposting, etc) so I didn't.

Anyways, I feel extremely sorry for the owner (Rick Hendricks). He stayed home from the race because he was sick...which is the only he wasn't on that plane. In his absence, half of his family died.

I don't know...that would be hard to live with I think. I mean, obviously losing your friends/family would be horrible, but to know that you were supposed to be on the same plane with them...
