South Texas Racing Community lost a racer yesterday


Recommended Posts

Yesterday, John Nick (from San Antonio) was working on a large piece of machinery when a malfunction (we can only assume), caused the large bucket to fall on John. Bystanders were not able to free him, due to the large size of the equipment. John passed from his injuries while pinned under the machine.

 

Some of you may remember John Nick from the "glory days" of San Antonio Speedway. He was currently working on a modified to run at Thunderhill raceway.

 

Please keep our family in your prayers today and this weekend, as we deal with the sudden loss. I will update later, once I find out funeral arrangments.

 

Thank you,

Robert Yuras Jr.

This is so sad. My prayers go out to his family. I also feel bad that I cant put a face to the name. I know the name but just cant put anything to it. Can someone give a little more info about John?

 

Here is John in '02

The longest part of his career was wrenching for the Cole family, with James Cole.
