Kevin Ward's Death: A Dirt Track Tragedy.


Like many dirt track racing fans, today we have a heavy heart for the loss of Sprint Car driver Kevin Ward Jr. Racing is a dangerous sport and none of us wants to see anyone killed on the track, ever. Ward was 20 years old. Last season, we lost Jason Leffler on a dirt track in New Jersey.

That being said, I have also read some moronic, stupid, and down right hateful things that were posted on line today. Most of these comments from from people that have no idea what a sprint car is or have clue one about the sport of dirt track racing. This is a very ugly, tragic event that will change those effected by it forever. I can't imagine what Kevin Ward's family is going through today or what Tony Stewart is feeling. I know that both families will be in my thought's and prayers.
