I’m sitting here crying over a driver I actively rooted against for nearly 20 years. I don’t mean to be crass, but this is such bullshit. His kids were robbed of their dad. His wife was robbed of her husband. Kurt was robbed of his brother. His parents were robbed of their son.
every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.
this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.
from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.
you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.
RIP. 🕊️
Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch:
CNN: "Why do you want to be here?... Why do you love being a part of history?
Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣
