This special edition of Scoop's Insider Photo Journals is dedicated to the memory of Kieth Hutton, who died in a tragic accident at Oskaloosa Speedway on the day before the opening of the 43rd Knoxville Nationals. The heartfelt thoughts and prayers of the entire sprint car racing family are with Jenny Hutton and her family during this most difficult of times.

Jenny Hutton insisted on being with her "family" at Knoxville. Her courage was an incredible inspiration to the thousands in attendance. When Jenny waved the green flag to start the Kele World Challenge race, it was a  moment to be remembered forever.

Her racing family rallied to her aid as drivers collected no less than $52,000 in donations from the fans. Local businesses matched that amount to push the total over $100,000.

RIP Kieth Hutton!
