Tributes 

———————— –

Auburndale Speedway

Our condolences go out to the family of Rusty Crews and New Smyrna Speedway. This situation is the exact reason we suspend and or fine drivers for certain situations. This is the kind of thing that really hurts small tracks across the country. So when drivers and fans post negative things about things that happen at the pit side of the track that they have no idea what happened they don’t know how much damage that can do. No race call, race car or payout money is worth fighting over. Racers are racing to supposedly “have fun”. Our goal is to provide a safe fun place for people to race. We are so sorry for our race community to go through a situation like this.

Rip. What a shame. A young father gone and will never have the chance to see his children grow up.

Rusty was the man. Heartbreaking. Only really met him this weekend. Spent a lot of time chatting with him and laughing when he would come around on the bobcat. Just a good dude.
I’m glad my car broke and I just was doing a start and park. Probably saved me a couple grand cause that race was a shitshow.
