Hodnett was racing at BAPS Motor Speedway in Pennsylvania Thursday night when he lost control of his car and crashed during the 410 A-Main.

The Knoxville Raceway released a statement last night saying
“Our hearts are full of sadness tonight with the passing of Greg Hodnett. A true professional who we looked forward to seeing every August.”
