Sadly I was just informed by someone close to Jesse that he has lost his life in a freak accident while loading his car into the hauler. I don't know all the details and would like to avoid spreading false info so please don’t ask. I simply ask that we all keep the Hockett family in our thoughts and prayers.

Wow so sad R.I.P

please say it not true........

This is so sad...Jesse was and forever will be one of the most talented racecar drivers I have ever had the oppertunity to watch and race against....May God be with Jesse and his family...Landon

Oh my Lord, as Dave said please say this is not true. Has anyone else confirmed? God Speed.
