No victory lane celebration

[tedicast]

After the race today at Martinsville there was no victory lane celebration. A Nascar official said it was due to a Hendrick motorsports plane dissapearing from radar flying into martinsville . Anyone heard any more on this?

all I have heard is what was said at the end of the race.

Just heard the John Hendrick, Ricky Hendrick (RickHendricks son), and Engine builer Randy Dorton were among the passengers on the plane.

Don't forget, Papa Joe died recently also, can Rick take anymore? What did he do to deserve this? My heart is saddened by this major loss, his father, his son, his brother, 2 nieces all in the last few months, not to mention the friends lost in the crash also, Randy Dorton has been with Hendrick almost since inception, Scott Latham was a pilot for Tony Stewart. Why do these things happen ?

Man that is really sad! Our prayers go out to the Hendrick family!
