HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS STATEMENT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Oct. 24, 2004) - Hendrick Motorsports officials have confirmed that an airplane owned by the organization was reported missing and downed today. The craft was en route to Martinsville, Va., from Concord, N.C.

The following is a full list of passengers: Randy Dorton, Hendrick Motorsports engine director; John Hendrick, Hendrick Motorsports president; Jennifer Hendrick, daughter of John Hendrick; Kimberly Hendrick, daughter of John Hendrick; Ricky Hendrick, son of Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick and owner of two NASCAR teams; Joe Jackson, sponsor representative; Scott Lathram, employee of NASCAR driver Tony Stewart; Elizabeth Morrison, co-pilot; Richard Tracy, pilot; and Jeff Turner, Hendrick Motorsports general manager.

Hendrick Motorsports asks that those affected be kept in your thoughts and prayers, and respectfully requests that privacy be considered throughout this difficult time.

I know that us NASCAR fans can be a brutal bunch when it comes to our favorite drivers... i personally am a fan of DEI and Evernham Motorsports.. but today... when this news broke... i got a taste of the NASCAR community coming together to support each other... The loss of so many people from one family... not to mention the other people on the plane with them... all employees of Hendrick Motorsports...is a sad day for NASCAR indeed... my heart hurts for Rick Hendrick and his team.... everyone lost friends today.... but Rick lost most of all... 4 family members, 4 employees and 2 of his pilots... May they all rest in peace...
