Racing Family extends its condolences to the Penland
family, and mourns the loss of their son, Hoyt.
Hoyt a GNCC racer and the son of 12-time GNCC Champion
Mike Penland, passed away in his sleep on the evening
of Thursday, July 25th.
He was 25 years old.
Hoyt, of Rabun Gap, Georgia, was an accomplished
racer, competing in the GNCC U2 class for several
seasons. At the Baja 1000 in 2007, he sustained
a catastrophic leg injury, which led to numerous
surgeries and complications. Showing the true
spirit of a racer, he fought hard to recover.
The staff at Racer Productions asks everyone
within the GNCC community to keep Hoyt, his parents
Mike and Wanda, and the entire Penland family,
in their thoughts and prayers during this tragic
time. Godspeed, Hoyt.
In Lieu of flowers, please send donations in
Hoyt Penland's Name to the Rider
Down Foundation who was instrumental in assisting
the Penland family with Hoyt’s medical bills
after his BAJA 1000 accident.
