Statements on Medlen’s death

"This is really tough to take. We are just heartbroken for Eric's family. He was such a great person and a tremendous competitor. Eric had an energy about him that was totally contagious. He was the type of guy who lit up the room the minute he walked into it. And if you knew him, you couldn't help but root for him because of how he came up through the sport and his absolute commitment to his work. The loss we feel at Ford is indescribable. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, to John Force Racing, and to his fans. The sport lost one of its best people today." Dan Davis, Director, Ford Racing Technology

Eric Medlen's death has left a huge void in the racing community. Many of us at Las Vegas Motor Speedway have gotten to know Eric on both a professional and personal level. His willingness to assist the speedway in promoting events was second to none. The Las Vegas Motor Speedway family extends its sympathy and prayers to Eric's family and the John Force Racing family.
