Dammit! Scott Kalitta dead at 46


For the second time in two years, the National Hot Rod Association has lost one of its top stars. Scott Kalitta died from injuries he received after a crash on Saturday.
Kalitta was 46-years-old, a husband and father and one hell of a drag racer.
I know everyone whom he was close to will miss him and I know those people who fans of the NHRA never wanted to deal with this type of tragic news again. Last year, it was Erick Medlin — now Kalitta.
Let's all stop and say a prayer for his family and the entire racing community — worldwide — because it's times likes these when you realize that the sport you love comes with extreme risks.
