Statement from Jack Roush and Roush Racing Drivers involving Hendrick Tragedy

Jack Roush
"My heart and prayers go out to the Hendrick family and the families of all who lost their lives in this tragedy. Like the entire Hendrick organization, fans, followers and supporters, I too feel the tremendous loss.

Mark Martin
"I was hoping never have to hear this again in my life time, I just feel so bad that it's unreal. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of those involved in this terrible tragedy."

Greg Biffle
"I really don't have the words to express the sorrow I feel for Rick Hendrick, the entire Hendrick organization and the families and friends of those whose lives were taken by this tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers are with all of them.

"I'd become very good friends over the years with many of those involved and I'm just heartbroken. I'm deeply saddened and I have an empty feeling inside of me, as does the entire NASCAR family. All of them will be greatly missed."

Matt Kenseth
"I really don't know what to say, this is such a terrible tragedy. It's not only a tragedy for NASCAR, but it's a personal one for the Hendrick Family--Rick has been through a lot this year already and I think the best thing any of us can do right now is just pray for them. We all knew the people onboard and Randy Dorton has been a very close friend of mine. We just need to pray for everybody right now for what they're going through."

Kurt Busch
"It's such an extremely unfortunate situation. It's certainly something that illustrates how close-knit the entire racing community really is, and right now we're all just thinking and praying for all of the families."

Carl Edwards
"This is certainly a great tragedy not only for Hendrick Motorsports but for the entire sport. My thoughts and prayers go out to all my peers at Hendrick Motorsports and to all the family members and friends of each of the 10 individuals who lost their lives in this terrible tragedy."
