R.I.P. to Shane Unger. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his team and his fans. One thing's for sure, sprint car fans can feel their pain. We're all still hurting from our tremendous loss.

Accident happened right in front of me. Folks please say prayers for this guys family and friends. Shane was an incredibly nice gentalman. Got to speak with him a bit in the pits. Let the good lord be with this man and his family. Absolutely sick to my stomach.
#GodSpeed #79ShaneUnger may your memory live on in the hearts of others  .

Shane raced his modified all over western Ohio and eastern Indiana. He was a frequent competitor at tracks like Eldora, Waynesfield, Montpelier, Lima, and Lawrenceburg in addition to some late model races in the Ferguson owned car he was driving last night. Good guy that made the best of the equipment he had.
The tragic accident last night is another reminder of the importance of safety equipment. The car did not have a window net or containment seat. Even with those safety devices in place any drivers side wall impact can have devastating consequences. He will be missed and I know the support of all of our racing community is behind his family and friends. RIP Shane. |

May prayers be with Shane's friends and family. Until we meet again
Pic of Shane and his car is one I took Thursday. Pic of Shane's, his wife and 2 kids via Kentucky late model racer Robby Hensley. 3rd pic was from a fellow FB friend taken earlier this year.
