This is from the Hot Rod site:
As most of you know, there was a horrible on-road accident during Power Tour that resulted in the loss of Jamey Anderson and the injury of his 15-year-old son.
Hot Rod has been criticized online for the lack of an announcement of the situation during the Power Tour itself. We ask those people who were upset by that to consider that our company did not have verification of the facts from the Alabama State Police until Sunday afternoon, after the Tour was over. It would have been irresponsible for us to have speculated about the facts, or to have announced a name before we were assured that the kin had been notified.
Of course we were stunned by this incident. Our company management has spoken to many of the family members and is now working to set up a system to collect donations for the family. Hot Rod will initiate that effort with a donation of its own.
