My fellow ATV racers, I have a very sad announcement. During the Victory Sports Indoor Series in Shelbyville, TN this past weekend, we lost a fellow racer. His name was Casey Wilson. He was 25 years old. He was from the Knoxville Tennessee area and his riding number was either 177 or 277.

It was a tragic lost and I ask everyone to please remember his family in your prayers.

Sincerely,

Jeff Wright

 

Lurch- Was he killed while racing? Do you have any info on maybe where flowers or a donation could be sent. This is truly horrible and my thoughts and prayers are with Casey Wilson's family and friends. MrP.

 

MrP,

He was injured in the whoops during a qualifying heat race. He landed face first and the quad flipped and landed grab-bar-down on the back of his helmet. I'll not go any further than that. He past away during the life-flight to Vanderbuilt Hospital from what I understand. I will let you guys know about the address for flowers and cards as soon as I can get it.

People, it takes allot to race. Knowing 'when and when not to try something or even go just a little bit faster' is a HUGE part of what it takes to race. Start slow and work on you skills and your reflexes. And when you race, please do not ride above you abilities. I don't mean to preach to you, but before I ride, I pray that God look over me and guide me, as well as every other rider. I do not know if this young man was a born again Christian. We will find out one day. Either way, please continue to pray for his family.

 

This Isn't good! Thanks for passing this on Lurch,,and an up front thanks for finding the address to send a card,I know that I want to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

No Problem LT80. I am still searching for the address.

 

Let me know what number he was and ill make it a point to put it on all three of our team quads in memory . This is truly a bad thing .

 

Ditto, I would like to know as well. His friends and family are in my prayers. This is gut wrenching to hear whenever we lose a rider.

 

Casey Wilson's number was 277. Please continue to remember his family and loved ones.

 

Sorry to hear the unfortunate news.

 

Thank you for letting me know the number . I will be at 3 nationals this year and like i said his number 277 will be on all 3 team quads .
