I tried to write this yesterday, but just couldn’t. Yesterday, at Homestead-Miami Speedway, rookie IRL driver Paul Dana was fatally injured in a warm-up crash prior to the start of the race.
Even casual readers of this ol’ blog know I’m a race fan, particularly a NASCAR fan. However, I’ve been following all types of racing since I was 10 years old, and have the utmost respect for those who strap on a helmet, and push any type of vehicle to the limits of man vs machine. So, I consider myself one of the racing fan fraternity, regardless of the series involved.
There’s a saying that always gets mentioned in times like these, “When one member of the racing community hurts, we all hurt.” And that is true. My heartfelt sympathy to Paul’s family, friends, and racing team.
