It is a matter of opinion if the Race goes on. I was fine with it.

Had a great weekend until I heard about Shane at the track rip my friend

[RoundNrOUND]

I was right there and from the time he took the hit it was clear he was not ok. The crew got him out of the car and did cpr and bagged him up very quickly to cover what could be seen. It got around the pits quickly that he had passed. I think it was extremely distasteful to continue at that point. Prayers with the family in this extremely hard time. RIP

Accident happened right in front of me. Absolutely sick to my stomach. Got to meat Shane in the pits and spoke with him a bit. Incredibly nice man. Please let the good lord be with his friends and family in this difficult time.
#GodSpeed #79ShaneUnger may your memory live on in the hearts of others.

I am Sorry, But I think this is the First Time I have ever heard that a race went on after someone has Die....

I was at Syracuse for a 4th of July show one year with my family and friends. There was an accident on the backstretch and we could tell by listening on the scanners that it was fatal. Cops were called, and while the scene was investigated, the track put on their fireworks show. After that, they ran the rest of the show. Most people didn't know. I think most drivers would want the show to go on.

What if it had killed Landers and not simply almost killed him? How many drivers have died from a basal skull fracture in DLM?

Thought's & Prayers to the Shane Unger family

[Spongebob]

Just my 2 pennies. Wouldn't be thoughtful if Bobby donated some of his winnings to the Unger family?
I also was curious too when they turned the cameras away and then I also thought he was OK when the crowd starting applauding. Then they did not give a update.
BIG CONGRATS to Bobby!!!

No, been to eldora when someone died in hot laps. Show went on. It's tragic, but the show must go on

[CIRF]

We were at the wedding of the daughter of very close friends Saturday evening so we weren't in any way able to keep up with what was going on at Eldora. I'm not familiar with Mr. Unger or his racing career but my heart truly aches for his family and close friends, nonetheless.

This is two dirt track racing fatalities (Bryan Clauson & Shane Unger) in just over a month. As I mentioned when Bryan passed away, a bit of the joy of attending races diminishes just little every time this happens. The sadness I feel while reading this thread will stick with me for a while.

We get so much joy, excitement and happiness from watching these men and women do things with racecars that seem nearly impossible and in a split second it can all go bad. It shouldn't be that way but it is. Obviously Mr. Unger loved what he was doing enough to risk his life to do it. I am not qualified to pass judgement as to whether the show should go on following one of these heart wrenching incidents and I don't ever want to have to make the decision one way or the other.
