The local drag racing community is in mourning following the tragic death of Danny Roberts, who lost his life yesterday in an on-track incident caused by a mechanical failure.
Danny was more than a racer; he was considered family by track staff and fellow competitors alike. Known for his generosity and team spirit, he was always ready to lend a hand in the pits, assist with lineups, or cheer on racers from the starting line.
“Danny’s passion for drag racing was unmatched, and his love for our racing family was evident in every smile he shared at the track,” said a track official. “He supported our programs tirelessly and made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.”
Friends, family, and racers are remembering Danny for his unwavering dedication, infectious enthusiasm, and the joy he brought to the track. The racing community says his legacy will live on through the countless memories he helped create.
“Rest easy, Mustang Danny,” the track staff said in a statement. “You’ll always be a part of this track — and you’ll never be forgotten.”
