Another Tragedy In NASCAR

Posted by Jeremy Dunn Jul 10, 2007

Thus far in 2007, the NASCAR community has lost Bobby Hamilton Sr, Benny Parsons, Bill France Jr, and now Dr. Bruce Kennedy. For those of you who may not be familiar with Dr. Kennedy, he is the husband of ISC President Lesa France Kennedy.

At approximately 8:40 am, the plane that Dr. Kennedy was on crashed into two houses while attempting an emergency landing in Sanford, Florida. At least five people were killed, and three more were severely injured.

The plane was licensed to Competitor Liaison Bureau, Inc., with the late Bill France as the registered agent. Jim France, Bill France's brother, and Lesa France Kennedy and Brian France, Bill France's children, are listed as vice presidents.

Our condolences go out to the France and Kennedy families.
