The Hotfessional family’s sympathy goes out to Scott’s wife, Kathy, his sons Corey and Colin, and the Kalitta Motorsports team.

my heart is with the family - he did what he did because he loved it, but this loss makes me so sorry for those he left behind.

Ah that’s so sad.

Reading things like this makes me appreciate my family even more. My husband and I have only been married four years, but I’d be lost without him.

This was horrifying to read about in the paper. We used to live a few miles down the road from Raceway Park and could always tell a big weekend by the volume of traffic going by. Such a terrible loss for both his family and the racing community.
That’s very sad. Heartfelt sympathies to his family.

This made it to the Norwegian papers, too. Horrific pictures accompanied the story. My thoughts are also with the family.

The poor families!

Such a sad loss. My heart goes out to his family. Knowing the risks does nothing to prepare them for that kind of accident, I’m sure.
