"I am deeply saddened by the news of the crash that took the life of NASCAR Winston Cup driver Kenny Irwin. His recent partnership with FEMA to inform NASCAR fans about the work of the agency brought a young and vibrant face to our efforts. Along with my wife Lea Ellen and the employees of FEMA, I offer heartfelt sympathies to his family, members of his racing team, and the NASCAR community."
