    From RDC...

    R.I.P. Ron Bechard
    It is with the heaviest of hearts that I report the passing of a great Father,Husband,Son, Friend,Employee and Off Roader .
    Shortly after the start of of the Freedom 250 the pits lost radio communications with Ron after he reported being his hands were going numb and he was lost in the sand wash. Many hours later he was found dead while still completly strapped in his racecar well east of Hwy 247. The car was completly intact and showed no signs of damage. It appeared he had driven most of the distance cross country.

    Cause of death in unknown at pending an Autopsy.

    Ron was the ultimate family man , he literally lived ,breathed and died following his passions. Being with his family and off roading.

    God Speed my good friend !
    Our thought and prayers are with his wife Hollyand his beloved kids Dalton and Skyler.

    I hope his ffamily will be ok. That sucks really bad. It said he lived and breathed his passions and one was obviously offroading was one. Bet a lot of people would love to go like that.

    Steering rack broke. But we fixed it in the pits. When me and Hassim hopped in the truck we had to stop at every pit and top off steering fluid. (our pit crews did an awesome job waving us down and handling it in the dark)
    Then we got a flat deep in the gnarly hills. The Engage truck got back on the track and was working awesome. But all the delays caused us to run out of time and we could not finish the race in the time limit allowed. But it was a fun race and we are ready for the next one!
