This past weekend here in Rockford, Illinois, the racing world lost
another driver. Al Papini, Jr. crashed between turns one and two
during the late-model feature season-opener. He hit the wall head-on
and was later pronounced dead. No cause of death is immediately
available. Rockford is the home of the Winston Racing Series National
ShortTrack Championship. A prayer please for the Papini family and all
of his fans.
it was a great loss for the family, the Rockford Speedway, and all the local
fans. Our prayers are with the family.
