Scott Kalitta
Scott Kalitta was an American drag racer who competed in the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes in the National Hot Rod Association. He died in June of 2008 after his car’s engine set on fire and exploded while traveling at 300MPH. The fire damaged the vehicle’s safety parachutes which were unable to prevent Kalitta from hitting a wall.
The NHRA made this statement regarding Kalitta’s death: "Scott shared the same passion for drag racing as his legendary father, Connie. He also shared the same desire to win, becoming a two-time series world champion. He left the sport for a very long period of time, to devote more time to his family, only to be driven to return to the drag strip to regain his championship form."
