I Can Not Express My Sadness
Posted by in GeneralI have no words to express the sadness that I felt in my heart and in the pit of my stomach when I found out that Scott Kalitta died today qualifying for the Lucas Oils SuperNationals in New Jersey. I haven’t seen the wreck…but I know it was on tv- I have been asked by several people if I have seen it and frankly- I don’t want to, at least not right now. I have mixed feelings about the media reshowing fatal accidents.
I will admit to you right here and now I do not follow NHRA as closely as I use to. But I was always a fan of Scott’s dad Connie. Anyway, Scott is survived by his father, his wife and two children.

It’s sad to loose someone that tragically in any form or series of racing. I don’t blame you for not wanting to see it. It’s sad to think that the media would fathom to play that over again, but then again I am talking about the media. Anyway, all we can do is say a prayer for him and his family.
I have mixed feeling about the media showing fatal accidents also. However, I think it important that NASCAR fans get out of the buble and remember how dangerous the sport is. I think sometimes they get feeling safe and forget, and think it only happens in “other” types of accident. I have spoken to many NASCAR fans that did not know anyone else but Dale Sr. had ever been killed in NASCAR.
