Hendrick Crash Results

According to the N.T.S.B. it was probably flight crew errors as the cause of the 2004 Hendrick Motorsports plane crash that killed 10 people. The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday, the crew improperly read instruments and missed a landing approach to Blue Ridge Airport in Martinsville, Va. The final NTSB report will not be published for another three to four weeks. Those killed in the crash were: Ricky Hendrick, 24, Rick Hendrick's son; John Hendrick, Rick Hendrick's brother and president of Hendrick Motorsports; Kimberly and Jennifer Hendrick, John Hendrick's 22-year-old twin daughters; Joe Jackson, an executive with DuPont; Jeff Turner, general manager of Hendrick Motorsports; Randy Dorton, 50, the team's chief engine builder; Scott Lathram, 38, a pilot for NASCAR driver Tony Stewart; and pilots Richard Tracy, 51, of Charlotte, N.C., and Elizabeth Morrison, 31.
