Speed News Special Edition

I don't expect anyone who isn't a diehard racing fanatic to understand the sense of loss us race fans feel... Even though I'm not a HMS fan... His team has suffered a great loss.. and as a human being... it makes my heart hurt to know that a great many people in the sport i dearly love are suffering through a traumatic loss right now... Even if i DON'T like Jeff Gordon... or Jimmie Johnson.... or whomever... They lost 10 people they cared about.... and my heart just aches for them. NO one deserves to die that way... not to mention losing 10 people you care about in one day.... I was in the NASCAR.com chatroom when the news broke.. and almost instantly.... The " My driver is better than yours." stuff stopped... Junior fans hugged Gordon fans... It was truly a coming together of massive proportions... We weren't there to root for our drivers.... we were there for Hendrick Motorsports... and the 10 people who passed on. Never in any other sport.. have i seen so many people pull together in a tragedy....

Darryl Waltrip said it best in his article on foxsports.com...
"If you lost your son, that would be devastating. What a tragedy! If you lost your brother, what a tragedy! But when you lose your brother, your son, two nieces and all of the people who were on that airplane, it's just devastating. One person doesn't have the capacity for that kind of grief so it's going to take all of us grieving together to help Rick Hendrick, his wife, Linda, Ricky's girlfriend, Randy's wife and Johnny's wife. It's going to take all of us praying, caring and supporting that group of people to get them through this devastating experience."

I saw that happen yesterday.... and it is a powerful thing... I'm proud to be a part of a community that... even though we have our guys to root for.. when the shit hits the fan... we're one big crew....
