JASON LEFFLER TOOK HIS FINAL CHECKERED FLAG JUNE 12, 2013 DOING WHAT HE LOVED..REST IN PEACE JASON..
WHEN I FIRST STARTED PUSHING 28 YEARS AGO I KNEW SPRINT CAR RACING WAS A FAST BUT DANGEROUS SPORT..I WOULD LEAVE THE TRACK AS SOON AS THE RACE WAS
OVER SO I WOULDN'T GET TO KNOW THE DRIVERS TO GOOD IF SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM..THINGS CHANGE AND THEY BECOME YOUR FAMILY EVEN IF YOU DON'T
SHARE TIME WITH THEM..YOU PUSH THEM OFF AND MAKE SURE THEY GET BACK TO THEIR PITS WHEN THE RACING IS DONE..YOU WATCH THEM STRIVE TO BE THE VERY
BEST WITH THE EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH..ITS A VERY FINE LINE THEY FOLLOW AND THEN IT HAPPENS..JOSH BURTON'S STORY ENDED HOURS AFTER A CRASH
AT BLOOMINGTON THIS PAST WEEK..SO YOUNG TO TAKE HIS FINAL CHECKERED FLAG BUT SO WELL REMEMBERED..RIP IN PEACE JOSH..
