| Scott Kalitta – Gone But Not Forgotten! |
|
Modesto, CA –
I’m going to keep this brief, as I don’t have a lot to
say. I will say that just typing this deeply saddens me…. As all of you
know by now, Funny Car driver, Scott Kalitta passed away June
21st, during the final round of qualifying at Old
Bridge Township Raceway Park, in Englishtown, NJ. Scott was
46-years-young.
Scott was son
to the legendary Connie Kalitta, and was also a cousin to
former Sprint car and Midget driver and 1994 USAC National
Sprint car champion – Doug Kalitta. Scott was also
able to get it done in Top Fuel competition as well. He went
on to win back-to-back Top Fuel championships in 1994 and
1995. It doesn’t
matter if we’re Sprint car or Midget fans, Street Stock
fans, or Drag Racing fans. Anytime that we lose a driver from
the racing community it’s a sad day. Scott, you may
be gone, but you will never be forgotten!
My
thoughts and prayers are with the Kalitta’s and the whole
NHRA family. Condolences
to the Kalitta family or team may be sent to champion@kalittaracing.com ***This column is dedicated to
the life of Scott Kalitta. Keep standing on it buddy! |
