All of us at the USMTS have been numb since learning of the loss of Natalie on Saturday. Jason has been much more than a competitor with our series; He is a dear friend to each of us and to hundreds of other racers, crew members, sponsors and fans in the racing community. The pain and grief he and his family is experiencing must be unbearable, so we would like to ask that all of our friends and families, racers, crew members, sponsors, fans and other supporters please take time today to close your eyes and beg God to watch over the Krohn family during this time and give them the strength to persevere through difficult time.

Jason, Jenny, Samantha and Aaron: We are so sorry for your loss. We love you all.
