The Drag Racing world lost a hero yesterday. Scott Kalitta was killed while qualifying his car. The Kalitta family is well known and respected in the Drag Racing community.
Scott was 46 years old and is survived by his wife, Kathy, and sons Colin and Corey.
Kind of a downer for Video Sunday, but it is also a reminder that the folks that entertain us on Sundays put their lives on the line. And while it might be safer in the dragster or Cup car than on the flight to the track, or than it is for the fans driving to the event, it is no less tragic when something like this happens.
To the Kalitta family, just know that Scott has touched the lives of thousands.
