    Man, what a gut punch. Can't even begin to imagine what those kids and that family are having to deal with right now.

    RIP, Aaron Dreher.

    Ella’s post is the epitome of the strongest daddy’s girl ever… heartbreaking but inspirational and the day after and only 14 years old… wow…
    RIP Mr Dreher

    That's absolutely awful.

    One of my Mom's older brothers had a similar experience. He and his fishing buddy were coming back from a fishing trip by Minot in his friends new F150.
    His friend had a heart attack behind the wheel on a 2 land North Dakota highway...they hit a minivan of ND/Arizona snowbirds head on...my uncle was the only survivor, but he was all busted up.

    Point being, my heart goes out to those kids and that young man is a freakin' hero.

    Damn. RIP Mr. Dreher. Feel awful for those kids. Lost my own father to a heart attack in my teens as well. But I had at least already graduated high school. Gonna be a tough next couple years.

    also huge props to Avery for getting the truck pulled over safely. I’m genuinely curious how he managed to do that. Pretty wild. I’ve long said that motorcycle racing taught me how to remain calm in high stress, adrenaline fueled situations that would make most people panic and freeze or freak out. I’d put money on Avery’s track experience doing the same for him.

    I agree.. also where it happened in Jax, on the interstate, could have gone all sorts of wrong

    This one hits home pretty hard. It could have been me driving to the track with my boys. I only met Aaron once, but he made a lasting impression. My heart breaks for the family. Thankfully the racing community is a tight one and the family feels the support. Godspeed Aaron.

    I've been wondering since this weekend: who is taking the kids racing? Was their dad running the show or are they on a team that's not owned by the family?
