Rest in peace Greg Kastli

A lot of tears last night and a loss for words. Truly a gentleman and when people think of Independence Motor Speedway he was one of the legends who came to mind. He was always humble and I hope that he realized when I said that he was my favorite that I was being sincere. From a young man who was able to witness him race in the last years at Tunis until today I was drawn to his personality. There truly was nobody like him. Always courteous and would call and apologize for disrupting my day when getting his call was truly special to me. I know that Greg had faith in God. I am hurt but knowing his relationship with the Lord was there will give me comfort. Yet I will still cry. God bless the family, friends, and communities surrounding the family of Greg Kastli.

We had hoped that the weather would change and we are sorry for waiting so long. We wanted to give it every chance to give us window to race. But we will cancel tonight's championship race. We did not want to have you drive and waste gas when everyone can see they are calling on rain the rest of the night. We are going to look for another date for a race and we will make a announcement soon. Thanks for your understanding. Congrats to all the point champions.
