This made me sick to my stomach as all sudden tragedies have. Painfully reminding of the tragic events of what happened to Barry Dodson and his loss of his children.

Prayers go out to the Herbert family and the others involved.

Even as the father of three, I can't imagine the sense of loss...so we will pray for Doug, his family, and everyone involved in this event.

I can't even imagine....

I have a 17 year old son who can be a real pain in the arse, sometimes...

But the thought of losing him like Doug lost TWO sons just makes me want to cry. I would be devastated beyond words.

Doug, we all love you and mourn your loss.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

I can't really add much to what has already been said. But I can tell you what truly nice people the Herberts are. A couple of years ago there was a benefit shows for a girl with cancer which was posted here on nitromater. Sonnie Herbert read the post and before we knew it several large boxes full of Dougzilla merchandise came to the door. Not only that but she got a bunch of other teams to send diecast cars and even some signed NASCAR fenders. It raised a lot of money for the event.

What I'm getting at is that Doug and Sonnie are great people that care about others they don't even know and it's so sad and tragic that this occured. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now. Lots of prayers will be needed to support them and I know everyone here will do that.

[Nitrohaulic]

How do you add to what's already been said? Like a friend of mine said on another board, the things that so many of us get away with, only to be reminded how fragile life is. Most sincere condolences from our family.

Just a couple of months ago i had to watch friends bury their 17 yr old from a car accident. I can't even begin to think how they can deal with the loss of two children, My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
