The 410 sprint car world took another heavy blow yesterday with the loss of Pennsylvania sprint car driver, Greg Hodnett. Hodnett was in competition at the BAPS Motor Speedway (formerly Susquehanna) and was involved in a serious accident. No details are available from reliable sources, and I am pretty sure no one wants to talk about it. He succumbed to his injuries a short time later.
Greg was a true gentleman racer, always with a handshake or a smile, and willing to help virtually anyone. He was the type of athlete you wanted your kids to look up to. A fierce competitor, and an even more fierce friend. God Speed, 27. May you race in peace.
