Greg Hodnett, 49, died on Thursday, September 20, 2018 from injuries sustained in a sprint car crash at the BAPS Motor Speedway, the former Susquehanna Speedway, in Newberry Township, Pennsylvania.

Greg was a professional race car driver, competing with the World of Outlaws and a member of the Pennsylvania Posse for the past 19 years. He amassed over 250 career sprint car wins and won multiple championships.

“We lost a great racer and human being. The people who need the most support at this time are the Hodnett family,” said a spokesperson for Champion Racing Oil. “First and foremost, Greg was a beloved husband, son, brother, father, grandfather, and more.
