RIP
I didn't know there was a dirt track there. That's half an hour from my house. I'm going to have to go check it out. Hopefully it will be a better night.

Very sad indeed. A friend texted me after seeing it happen. She is a local racer of midget/sprints. I understand he was a great friend to many local racers, liked by all. Big name in small track but always there for all.
RIP Jason. Will be missed by many.

Really terrible. I wonder if somebody closer would know if there is any sort of fund that could be started for his boy for school and such. I am sure a few of us can spare a few bucks for something like that.
RIP Jason.
RIP Jason.

According to his team, Leffler was wearing a Simpson Hybrid (1 of 6 NASCAR approved devices) at the time of the crash.

Race car driver Jason Leffler died from a blunt force neck injury, an autopsy revealed Thursday.
The Delaware County (Pa.) Medical Examiner ruled Leffler's cause of death was the neck injury he sustained when his car impacted the wall at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey during a Wednesday night sprint car race.
According to his team, Leffler was wearing a Simpson Hybrid head and neck restraint system, which is one of six approved for use in NASCAR. A blunt force injury occurs when an object strikes the body with force causing compression of tissue. Head and neck restraints are designed to prevent injuries resulting from deceleration trauma when the body is moving and strikes another moving or stationary object, causing stretching or tearing of body tissue.
