It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our Chief Administrative Officer, Chad Tucker.

Chad was not only a leader at Glen Helen Raceway, but a true friend, mentor, and constant source of support to everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him. His vision, dedication, and passion played a vital role in shaping Glen Helen into what it is today, and his presence could be felt in every corner of our raceway.

Chad enjoyed racing himself, and that love for motorsports was at the heart of everything he did. He understood the thrill, the challenges, and the community that racing creates because he had lived it personally. That passion gave him a unique perspective because he didn’t just see racing as an event to manage, but as an experience to nurture and protect for riders and fans alike.

He was never afraid to get dirty, whether it was shoveling dirt, setting up, or stepping in wherever needed, Chad was always there. He had a way of being everywhere at once, lending a hand, offering guidance, and making sure the job got done. His tireless energy and commitment inspired all of us to give our best, no matter the task.

Beyond his title and responsibilities, Chad embodied the spirit of Glen Helen. He cared deeply for our riders, staff, fans, and community, always going the extra mile to ensure everyone felt welcome and supported. His kindness, warmth, and steady leadership touched countless lives, both on and off the track.

While we are heartbroken by this loss, we are also grateful for the time we were able to share with him. His impact will remain forever woven into the legacy of Glen Helen, and his memory will continue to inspire us every day.
