The two young sons of Top Fuel racer Doug Herbert were killed in an automobile accident Saturday morning in Lake Norman, N.C. Jon, 17, and James, 12, died instantly when their Mazda3 collided with a second vehicle. Herbert, who was in Phoenix for preseason testing, is heading home to be with his family.

The thoughts and prayers of the entire NHRA staff are with the Herbert family at this difficult time.
