The auto racing community is mourning the death of asphalt Modified and Late Model great Mike Stefanik, who was killed in a plane crash Sunday. The similarities to the death of Ted Christopher, almost two years to day of his fatal accident, are strange, even eerie.

Sadly, the man who made news for the entitreity of his driving career with dazzling wins and record breaking achievements has made news once more, this time, tragically.
