Cambridge, ON - August 13, 2014Normally, we celebrate the successes of those in motorsport on this blog. We prefer to do that.
After the sad events of this past weekend, however, we have to take a moment to reflect on the other side of our sport - the side we're not nearly as fond of.
Our hearts go out to Kevin Ward Junior's family and friends, the Empire Super Sprints organization, Canandaigua Motorsport Park's owners, employees, and fans, and Tony Stewart. Nobody ever wants to have a competitor die on a race track under any circumstances.
If you would like to express your condolences for Kevin Ward Jr., his family has asked for donations in lieu of flowers to the Empire Super Sprints Injured Driver Fund. If you would like to make a donation, here's the address.
Empire Super Sprints Injured Drivers Fund
5562 Bear Rd.
Apt. C2
North Syracuse, NY. 13212
In addition, this Friday at Brewerton Speedway and Ohsweken Speedway, the organizers are asking fans, teams, drivers, and anyone/everyone else to come out wearing orange in tribute to Kevin Ward Jr.
