Herbert's two sons lost in tragic automobile accident -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Rob Geiger Sr., NHRA.com senior editor 1/26/2008 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. Condolences can be sent to Raymer Funeral Home, 16901 Old Statesville Road, Huntersville, N.C. 28078. In lieu of flowers, Herbert asks that people make a donation to the Speedway Children's Charities in Jon and James Herbert's name.

these children were not racing, they were driving on the street. I believe theres more of a chance getting injured on the way to the race track than in the race itself. Tragic though none the less.
