Drag racer Scotty Richardson has passed away. No age was provided.
An official cause of death has not been determined yet.
“The racing community has lost a very special person Scotty Richardson,” Ellen Eschenbacher said in a Facebook post. “You will be missed tremendously. Prayers and love to the Richardson family.”
The drag racing community had asked for prayers for Richardson days ago. However, they did not know the extent of his condition.
At press time, we do not have much information on how he passed away.
According to his Facebook page, his last post was promoting a drag race at London Dragway in London, Kentucky. He asked people to “Like & Share.”
The race was called a Summer Bucks Shootout. The event took place on August 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
Richardson was previously a Summer Fling winner. He took home a $100,000 check for that win, according to the picture.
”It’s not fair, it doesn’t feel anywhere close to real, and is the definitely the sad part of life,” Jerry Emmons said in a Facebook post. “I believe we all felt Scotty Richardson was immortal. One of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME the sport of drag racing has ever seen. Much more impressive than his successful racing career is the friend he was to my family.
“He was like a brother to all of us and nothing will ever be the same, ever. I pray for Scotty’s family. May peace and strength be with all of them.”
