There never are words to say at a time like this. This was a very young man. Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out for this young man and his family at this time from all of us at Chris3 Racing.

Wow. I first met Drake when we worked together at Summit. He had a true love for the sport.

Unbelievable that we have lost 2 young guns this year....

Scott Koffel would like anyone who is going to the CCEvents Swap Meet/Banquet to please bring any photos you might have of Drake or his car. He would like to make up a photo album for the family. I also have heard of some fundraisers that might be happening there this weekend, as well as in the near future. If anyone brings donations to the BEA party, I'll get them to the family Sunday.

He has been sick since late October. He went to the doctors several times, had different meds, throat infections, then he just seemed to break down. What killed him in the end was complications of pneumonia, but i think his body and his immune system had been so weakened that he couldn't fight it off.
Here is the link to his Obit...

Very Sad to hear. Having a 24, 20 and 17 year old I cannot imagine what the parents are going through. The loss of loved ones and family is never easy but when it is someone so young with what we think is a lifetime of experiences ahead of them it is even tougher.....Prayers out to the family and friends.
