Saturday
Richmond International Raceway President Doug Fritz on the Passing of NASCAR VP of Corporate Communi
Press Release
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Hunter. His family and friends, the entire NASCAR community and all of those he touched are at a great loss. There are so many words that can describe Jim Hunter…great leader, visionary and pioneer, just to name a few. Jim personified the definition of ‘legend.’ To me, he was my mentor, as he was for many others in this sport. I was truly blessed to know Jim Hunter, and was proud to call him my friend. Losing a personal friend and mentor is never easy, but we must recognize the accomplishments and leadership of such a great man. The sport of NASCAR is better today because of Jim Hunter. From the very first day I met Jim, more than 20 years ago, he was always there for me any time I needed advice or a second opinion on any subject. He deservedly received the utmost respect of drivers, owners and industry leaders. Today we have lost a great man. Our condolences go out to his wife, Ann, son, Scott and daughter, Amy.” – Doug Fritz
