Scott Kalitta Dies In Fiery NHRA Funny Car Crash

Nothing Funny About Funny Cars Today
6/22/08



Terrible news out of the NHRA yesterday as 46-year-old Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta died from injuries sustained in this horrific, fiery crash during the final round of qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals.

The NHRA issued this statement:
On behalf of everyone at NHRA, we are deeply saddened and want to pass along our sincere condolences to the entire Kalitta family.

Scott shared the same passion for drag racing as his legendary father, Connie. He also shared the same desire to win, becoming a two-time series world champion. He left the sport for a period of time, to devote more time to his family, only to be driven to return to the dragstrip to regain his championship form. Scott was a terrific driver and perhaps more importantly a better person and a great father to his two kids.

He will be truly missed by the entire NHRA community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Kathy; sons, Corey and Colin; his cousin, Doug; and his father, Connie.
Video may not be recommended for everyone.

How does a car just explode into flames halfway down the stretch?  That's strange.

RIP Scott.
