A Sad Day for NASCAR

I don't go to church much, but today I'm doing some serious praying.

Yeah,this is pretty bad.I never know what to say when it comes to a loss like this.I sure do feel sorry for Rick though.I wonder if they(NASCAR) waited `till after the race to tell him too.If they did and I where him I don't think I would've been too happy about it.

I'm pretty sure Rick knew before the race was over but niether Jimmy Johnson nor Jeff Gordon knew. They escorted them away (Jimmy won the race) to the Nascar trailer at the end of the race to tell them. From what hear, there were alot of tears shed as people left the track.
