Sympathies to Jeff's family and friends. He was the type person that if you knew him he was your friend. A great ambassador for drag racing as well as the human race. RIP.

I always enjoyed watching Jeff whoop up on all the Chevies. He was as good as they come and will be missed.

Godspeed to the Hurst Family and all his racing friends.
