I thought it was pretty classless that fs1 didnt even mention anything or have a special moment for him on tonights show.

On all Access during the invocation it was mentioned, and to pray for him and the family.

The National FS1 audience does not watch all access. A mention in memoriam should have been made on the regular broadcast.

I thought they should have stopped racing for the day

NHRA (and ESPN) knows how to handle these things...we all saw this...Paul Page had the unenviable task of telling race fans what occurred on the track that day
