I grew up watching his grandfather Ray Crawford battle Emmett Hahn at the Tulsa Fairgrounds speedway.

Now I understand his mother was NOT killed. Sorry for the incorrect information. Donnie and his grandpa are the 2 dead.

Wow. Not only is this sad news, but it comes right on the heels of the story of Harli White's amazing comeback, from the terrible injuries she sustained in her fiery crash. A comeback that probably wouldn't have been possible had Donnie Ray not risked his life and quickly pulled her from her burning race car. R.I.P. Donnie Ray.

Here's a thought for you buddy. Maybe next time you can go find your own news from someone besides me. If you don't like it don't read it.

I will do that "buddy" but at least it will be the correct news.A closing thought for you,if one can't share whats official maybe one should not use the keyboard.

RIP Donnie.

Don't know if its possible, but a missing man four wide salute should be in order as well.

Donnie was a hell of a racer, I never got to meet him, but always knew he was fast, and nobody has ever said a bad word about him.

Thinking of the Crawford family, and all their friends, and all their friends in the racing world.

Because the "real" news reports are always accurate with breaking news?? Let me know what website you visit or channel you watch then. This is ridiulous and why I stopped coming around this board. Let's focus on the fact that we lost a great young driver and young man today from our family and stop with hiding behind a computer screen and telling someone what they should or shouldn't post on an internet forum.....

Perhaps as a measure of respect for Donnie Ray, we could limit this thread to expressions of sorrow and not engage in name calling.
