After the racing on this video you will see the moment of silence tribute to Leo.

It was great to see this in Leo's memory. I would like to say that Walter Fry did an awsome job on the mic speaking about Leo last night. My hat is off to Walter.

I know it was difficult for anyone that knew Leo to watch this. First car down the track was one vehicle for the missing racer in the other lane. I still feel like someone just punched me in the chest thinking about this.
