I was there on Sunday and watched the tragedy unfold. And less than 24 hours before I had met Dan at the MGM Grand, laughing and taking pictures! He truly had a powerful charisma that will forever be etched into my soul.
Sundays race was a first for me and i was so excited to have met Dan, Tony, and Will….meeting and talking to these incredible men provided me with a personality and raw emotion to fuel my cheering as each racer drove past.
Yet, that very same personality and emotion has made witnessing this horrific event, that much more devastating.
