R.I.P. Ron Bechard

[GRANT@FUNCO]

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I report the passing of a great Father,Husband,Son, Friend,Employee and Off Roader .
Shortly after the start of of the Freedom 250 the pits lost radio communications with Ron after he reported being his hands were going numb and he was lost in the sand wash. Many hours later he was found dead while still completly strapped in his racecar well east of Hwy 247. The car was completly intact and showed no signs of damage. It appeared he had driven most of the distance cross country.

Cause of death in unknown at pending an Autopsy.

Ron was the ultimate family man , he literally lived ,breathed and died following his passions. Being with his family and off roading.

God Speed my good friend !
Our thought and prayers are with his wife Hollyand his beloved kids Dalton and Skyler.

I am so very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Holli is a great friend of off-roading and her family is the perfect example of family oriented racing. Our thoughts, prayers, and sympathies go to her and her family and friends.
