Eric Medlen, you will be missed

Just wanted to give my best wishes for the Medlen and Force family as the death of Eric Medlen was a shock.

As many may know Eric Medlen is the NHRA driver for the Castrol Syntec Ford Mustang in the Funny Car class. He was an amazing driver and really nice and genuine guy. He will be missed.

Wow! I had heard he was in the hospital but his death is a total shock. What an up-and-coming driver he was. And a future leader on the Force team. He will be greatly missed. One has to wonder how this tragedy will affect Ashley Force.

My thoughts exactly, her learning curve has caused her to hit the wall and cross the line in the past two events. Medlen was a bull on that team and for him to be killed is definately going to mess with Ashley's head considering she is really inexperinced in the funny car. I hope she keeps herself cautious and safe.
