IRL: Firestone statement on Tony Renna

Al Speyer, Executive Director, Firestone Racing: "We were incredibly saddened to learn that Tony Renna lost his life today during a testing session at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and his fiancé, to his team, and to his many friends and fans. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and everyone who has been touched by Tony's life.

"Times like these are always difficult, and this loss in particular will be felt deeply by the Firestone family. Tony was a good friend to Firestone and had spent many hours attending events and volunteering his time on our behalf. He was always willing to give of himself or lend a hand when we called upon him, and his unselfish and giving nature makes this tragedy all the harder to bear. He was a talented driver who will be long remembered by all who knew him or had the privilege of working with him."
