Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted September 7, 2019 Juan Manuel Correa is in an induced coma following the same accident that claimed Anthoine Hubert last week. He apparently has ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome, as a result of the massive trauma.

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted September 9, 2019 The Observer yesterday mentioned that at an event to mark the 50th anniversary of his first F1 championship Jackie Stewart met three of his mechanics from that season (i.e. these guys are all still alive). Stewart is 80, the mechanics likely older. Obit chances outside of the Deathrace unlikely, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtracer18 34 Posted September 16, 2019 Modified racer Mike Stefanik has died after a plane crash in Connecticut. He was 61. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,071 Posted September 16, 2019 Mike Stefanik, a nine-time NASCAR champion and NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee, died Sunday in a plane crash, according to the stock-car racing organization. He was 61. According to Connecticut State Police, an Aerolite 103, single-engine, single-seat plane took off from Riconn Airport just over the state line in Rhode Island on Sunday. Police say the ultralight plane, while turning back toward the airfield, crashed into a wooded area adjacent to the airport in Sterling, Connecticut. According to NASCAR, Stefanik was the winningest driver in the history of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. He won that circuit championship in 1989, 1991, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2006. He also won the Busch North — now known as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East — titles in 1997 and 1998. His nine overall NASCAR championships are tied with Evans for most in NASCAR history.
