tedicast Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 After the race today at Martinsville there was no victory lane celebration. A Nascar official said it was due to a Hendrick motorsports plane dissapearing from radar flying into martinsville . Anyone heard any more on this?

slugshooter Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Re: No victory lane celebration Don't forget, Papa Joe died recently also, can Rick take anymore? What did he do to deserve this? My heart is saddened by this major loss, his father, his son, his brother, 2 nieces all in the last few months, not to mention the friends lost in the crash also, Randy Dorton has been with Hendrick almost since inception, Scott Latham was a pilot for Tony Stewart. Why do these things happen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Re: No victory lane celebration So sad. Our prayers are with them, also. Kind of ironic, that the Hendricks were so happy that there son, Ricky, hung up driving, they were worried about him being injured, and then to have this happen.

slugshooter Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Re: No victory lane celebration My feelings on this : As a Jeff Gordon fan since his rookie year, it is only natural that I am a fan of all Hendrick cars, I have cheered them on at the tracks and cheered them on at home. I have shared in the triumphs and the disappointments, even though I have never met any of them and the closest I have ever gotten to Jeff Gordon is watching him go by in the car before the race. But this major loss to the Hendrick family has affected me as well, not to the point of tears, but how one would feel at finding out about the loss of an old friend, or a distant relative. Thats what makes the sport of NASCAR so great, what other sport makes you feel like you are part of it all, and what other sport do you ever see the outpouring of support between rival teams and fans. It was the same when Dale Sr. died, I never pulled for him, just like many people have never pulled for a Hendrick driver, but I could not help but feel a tremendous sense of loss for the families involved and for the sport itself, when rival fans got together to celebrate the life of one of NASCAR's greatest, just like they are doing for this major loss within the family of one of NASCAR's greatest car owners.
