Condolences to his family and friends. Hard to believe he was 37. "Just" 37.

greynomad should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Always sad to lose a driver in these circumstances, Sprintcars are much safer than they used to be but there is always that element of danger. RIP.

He was just at Pocono last Sunday. Sad, he was one of those guys who had a shot with the big teams, then was a long time driver in NNS, lost that ride and not been around much since then.

RIP

Yes. Moment of silence before the races at MIS.

Lots of the NNS cars have LEFturn over the driver's door. Respect.

Actually, every car in the NNS field has the "Lefturn" sticker on it. Every Cup car will as well.

I forgot to mention that Denny Hamlin had a different scheme at MIS to honor Leffler. Infact, it was the very same scheme as back in 2005, when Leffler was in that ride. Shame we didn't get to see much of it this weekend due to the #11 running and finishing poorly for some reason.
