The NASCAR community is in mourning as the sudden death of Jon Edwards, the director of racing communications at Hendrick Motorsports, has left Jeff Gordon and the racing world devastated.

Gordon, in a heartfelt tribute, expressed his deep sorrow over the loss of his dear friend, highlighting Edwards’ loyalty, hard work, and selflessness.

Known for his kindness and professionalism, Edwards was not only a familiar face to journalists but also a key figure in handling public relations for top drivers like Kyle Larson. His dedication and love for the sport were recognized in 2014 when he received the prestigious Jim Chapman Award for excellence in motorsports PR, cementing his legacy in the industry.

The passing of Jon Edwards adds to the somber day in NASCAR history, following the deaths of veteran journalist Al Pearce and Carson Hocevar’s grandmother. Edwards may not have been a driver or team owner, but his impact on the NASCAR community was profound. Colleagues and journalists remember him as a genuine and friendly individual who went above and beyond to help others, regardless of their status in the racing world.

As the NASCAR world comes to term with the loss of Jon Edwards, tributes pour in from all corners, reflecting on his remarkable career and the lasting impression he left on those who had the privilege of knowing him. The legacy of Jon Edwards will forever be remembered in the hearts of the racing community, as they bid farewell to a truly one-of-a-kind individual.
