What can an orange hoosier do for you?

sprintracer82 · 5/27/13, 3:17 AM

With everything the month of May has brought to me it has been a rough one. With everything I have lost in my 32 years the month of may is a tough month. And hearing the news of Josh just about made me crumble. But like always in the passed we loaded up to go racing. This time strapping on an orange hoosier. Well after 11 years of many top 5 finishes I finally got my first nonwing dirt feature win. I didn't have a lap left on the orange hoosier. I may never have met Josh or even raced with him, but tonight everyone was racing for Josh. There was a lot of orange hoosiers up here in Michigan. On to the next green flag.

Josh Burton painted the hoosier on his tires orange. Josh was involved in a very violent sprint car crash at the Bloomington Speedway in Indiana fri night and passed away from his injuries on sat at the young age of 22. The trend was started for every racer to paint there hoosier or whatever the tires was to orange in memory of Josh
