Ironies of the death of Kenny Irwin

[Joe Fan]

Not only was Kenny killed in the same corner at the same track (New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon) as Adam Petty but here are a few more.

Kenny was a former driver of the #28 car that the late Davey Allison drove. Ernie Irvan had a wreck in the #28 car at Michigan and was given a 10% chance of surviving the accident which he did. He received another severe concusion in another wreck in the #36 car last year at Michigan and subsequently retired. Lets hope that the apparent black cloud that many have said hangs over the #28 car does not continue. Dale Jarrett, Kenny Wallce are former drivers of the #28 car and Ricky Rudd is the current driver.

Kenny Irwin was killed in the same exact #42 car that Joe Nemechek won with in the fall race at Loudon last season. Joe's brother John Nemechek was killed in 1997 in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck series race. I wonder what is going through Joe and Mama Nemechek's mind right now.
