Attending a funeral after su***de leaves a kind of heaviness that words cannot carry.

You look around the room and see a life that mattered reflected in every tear, every embrace, and every person wishing there had been more time—one more conversation, one more chance to say, “Please stay.”

Today was a painful reminder that su***de does not end pain; it transfers that pain to the people left behind. But we will not allow the way someone died to define the life they lived. We will remember their kindness, their laughter, the people they loved, and every lap of their life when they kept going despite struggles others may never have seen.

If you are hurting, please let someone into the driver’s seat with you. Pull into the pits. Tell your crew the truth. You do not have to finish this race alone.

Your life matters. Your presence matters. Please stay.

Call or text 988 for immediate support. 🩷🏁💙

L.A.P.S. — Navigating Grief After Su***de

L — Lean on your pit crew
You do not have to carry this grief alone. Reach out to people who will listen without judgment.

A — Allow yourself to feel
There are no perfect words and no “right” way to grieve. Give yourself permission to feel whatever comes.

P — Pace yourself
Grief has no finish line or timeline. Take life one moment, one breath, and one lap at a time.

S — Stay connected
Isolation can make the hardest moments feel heavier. Keep showing up, accept support, and stay—even when the track ahead feels impossible.

After a su***de loss, grief can feel like being forced into a race you never chose to enter. Some laps will feel manageable, while others may take everything you have. You don’t have to navigate them alone.

Lean. Allow. Pace. Stay. Every lap matters—and so do you.

This one hits different …. When I find the words to use I’ll put them to paper but for now my focus is on this family and the pain they are dealing with . Please come help us celebrate the life of someone cut from the same cloth as myself . I’ve watched Tim get into racing at a young age as our family’s have always been intertwined . Ive always admired the passion and closeness they both shared and vowed one day to have that same relationship with my child . I soon did just that and followed suit with my own child and shared the same passions …. That’s all I have for now …… very few times in my life I’ve found myself speechless . This may be a first . Let’s pack this place Saturday night !!! Rest easy my friend !!!

There are no good words when we lose someone—nothing that can fully express the heartbreak or ease the pain. We just remember that pain can take the wheel so aggressively and we are so sorry to everyone suffering.

Rest easy Jody. Your race ended too soon and you will be missed by the entire racing community, countless family and friends, and so many others.

Please feel free to reach out to the Racing for Resilience page or to Brent Lee or Kayla Lee directly if you need to talk.

You are never alone, and help is always available. We are here for you—please stay. 💙🩷

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Jody Bish.

Jody’s dedication to racing was undeniable, and his support of Marion Center Raceway meant more to us than words can truly express. But Jody was so much more than a supporter of our racetrack. For many, many years, he was a true and loyal friend to the owner and our entire family. His friendship, kindness, and continued support will never be forgotten.

The racing community has lost someone very special, and our hearts are especially with Jody’s family during this incredibly difficult time. We are sending our deepest condolences, love, and prayers to his son Timothy Bish, Laurie Bish, his grandchildren Brantley and Kaylee, and all of Jody’s family and friends.

Please know that the entire Marion Center Raceway family is here for you. If there is anything at all that we can do, please do not hesitate to reach out. Racing for Resilience is always a call, text, or message away also.

Rest easy, Jody. Thank you for the years of friendship, the memories, and your unwavering support of Marion Center Raceway. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten. 🏁❤️

❤️‍🩹 Drivers Seat.

Grief can feel like a caution flag while the world keeps moving—but you don’t have to rush it. Cry, remember, feel angry, sit quietly, or say, “I’m not okay.” Your pain reflects how deeply you loved, not a failure to move forward.

After a su***de loss, many feelings can exist at once: anger, confusion, unanswered questions, compassion, and more. The person who died may have been experiencing overwhelming pain that affected how they saw their options. Their death was not a simple choice, a reflection of how much they were loved, or anyone’s fault.

It wasn’t the person you knew and loved in the drivers seat. It was their pain that took the wheel.

Your grief is valid.

Take it one lap at a time. Lean on your spotter and let your pit crew stay close. Reach out to someone you trust and say, “I’m having a hard time and could use some company.” Asking for help is a brave way to care for yourself. We’re here for you. Always. 🏁💙🩷

Check in.

We don’t care who it’s with—a friend, family member, teammate, coworker, counselor, or even us. Just check in with someone.

You do not have to carry everything alone. You do not have to have the right words. You only have to take that first small step and say, “I’m not okay.”

Please stay.

Stay through this moment. Stay through this night. Stay long enough to see that the pain can change. Your life has value, your story is not finished, and the world is better with you in it.

We’re here for you. Your pit crew is here. 🏁💙🩷

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for support.

Every lap matters. You matter. Keep going.
