Let official (Family or Usac) state the facts, No matter what, keep the family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. Everyone's just numb and even shared a few hugs before leaving the track property.

We raced mini sprints with Justin and moved to Sprint cars about the same time he did. We got out of racing in 2014 but I've tried to keep track of some of the drivers we used to run with.

So sad to hear about what happened this evening, my heart goes out to his family.

I was at Paragon a few years ago, when Justin showed up and won a thriller, by beating Brady Short at the line. So close, you didn't know until the announcer said who had officially won. Just as cool was the post-race interview and how happy and humble he was. He was giddy and still in disbelief that he had just beat a driver as good as Brady Short. I was definitely a fan of his, after that.

Remember. No updates on injured drivers until official word comes down from the family, race team or sanctioning body. No exceptions!

They acknowledged the worst with the Outlaw’s tonight

So did Bacon and Briscoe.

Unfortunately, USAC just made it official…RIP Justin owen

Pretty classy of WoO of including him in the missing man formation at the Jason Johnson race tonight.

Several of them raced against Justin in Boss and other events, Sheldon, and a few others. Smaller world than you would think.
