Tears in my eyes as I write this. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of race fans, watch these guys put their life in danger for our pleasure. We know the inherent risk involved, as obviously do the drivers themselves. Every time they strap in, it is known fact that it may be their last time. It is a risk they are willing to take, as they have a love for the sport that goes without saying. With that being said, I want to send my heart felt, teary eyed condolences to Bryan Clausen's family. We lost someone who may have been one of the most versatile drivers of our time, midget's, sprint cars, Indy cars etc... Just a month ago, I saw him race at Gas City, and Kokomo. He was the guy to watch, I was told. Although I did not know him personally, he was a member of the brethren of men and ladies that have entertained me since I was a very, very young boy, and I take it personally, when one of them leaves us, because of an incident during a race, while they were doing what they loved. I am very sad. Rest in Peace Bryan Clausen, you were a hell of a driver.
