Eric Medlen passed away.

That's really sad news. RIP Eric

 

I was a fan, loved watching his interviews. He was close to my age, seems to hit ya a lil harder that way too.

 

RIP and may your family, friends and fans always remember you for the way you lived life and always full of life. Whan i look at big ol puffy clouds i will wonder if your doing a big burnout for the big guy

 

Rip

 

my heart goes out to him and his familia

 

This is such a tragedy. Really hit me hard. I was lucky enough to witness his win in Seattle 2005. Seemed like such a down to earth guy. He will be missed.

 

RIP Eric, Godspeed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Medlen family and John Force Racing.

Tragic. Nobody should die having fun and entertaining others. My heart goes out to the Medlen family, nothing can prepare anyone to bury a child.
Not to down play this terrible event but can anyone shed any light as to how the accident occurred?

 

I heard he blew a tire out near the finish line. 320 mph.

 

Kind of what I heard, except at half track(260). Ricocheted and hit both walls?!
Absolutely terrible.
