NASCAR officials have confirmed that the husband of International Speedway Corp. President Lesa France Kennedy, plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Kennedy, died today when a plane he was piloting crashed in Florida.

 

Fire Chief Gerard Ransom of Sanford, Fla. has confirmed at least four other passengers were killed -- including two children.

 

Kennedy was piloting the twin-engine Cessna 310 aircraft when it went down about 8:40 AM ET. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Daytona International Airport

 

 

for the families.

As someone said on a Burton board I post at, there is a ton of bad juju surrounding the France family lately.

 

Prayers are out to the families involved in this.
