Alan's car caught fire coming out of NASCAR 4. Unfortunately the pin was left in his fire bottle so the system did not go off. By the time he came to a stop the car was so engulfed in flames that his skin had started to blister under the suit, his face shield melted, and one of his gloves was completely charred. He spent a while in the hospital in the ICU and unfortunately sometime in the past few days he passed away. Very sad.
