When I first read the headline my immediate thought was that Rick and his drivers were on that plane... I still have goosebumps thinking about the whole thing. NASCAR.com even has an "in memory" banner at the top of their page. In the world of auto racing you always expect tragedies to happen on the track, but it never seems to happen that way. My heart goes out to the team and the NASCAR community.
Considering how Hendrick's top engine builder was killed, it will be interesting to see how the rest of this season and next season plays out. Not only do Gordon, Johnson, Labonte and Vickers use those engines, many teams lease and purchase engines from them. This team has been one of those few teams who rarely ever suffer from engine failure... Maybe once, twice at most, in a 36 race season, for the entire team.
