Although I have never met the man, I have had total respect for his family and the Muldowney's over the years.

Scott Kalitta, from a great local racing family.

On June 21, 2008, Kalitta was killed when his Toyota Solara Funny Car burst into flames and crashed during the 4th and final round of qualifying for the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. Kalitta’s car was traveling at around 300 miles per hour when the engine of his car exploded into flames.
