In what started as an already difficult evening at Tri-State Speedway due to the weather up north hindering our Indy cars efforts to make it to the track, the night became vastly more difficult when we learned a member of our extended family had been tragically killed on Friday.

30 year employee of Tri-State Speedway and employee of MSCS chief pit steward, Kevin Mason; and TSS & MSCS announcer Jason Adams lost a son-in-law and brother-in-law respectively Friday afternoon. http://www.14wfie.com/Global/story.a...av=menu54_11_3

Mike Cunningham was killed Friday afternoon while working. He leaves behind a wife, a 2 1/2 year old son and a 9 month old son.

This family spent yesterday morning making funeral arrangements but put aside their grief and honored Mike's memory by working the KISS/MSCS race at Haubstadt last night.

I'm certain the family would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
