"Shane was not only a passionate racer but also our neighbor and friend.  His father, Mike, has been Eldora's track welder at events for 36 years.  His mother, Jann, works in our pit area concessions.  His brother, Shad, was his car owner and crew chief,” said Roger Slack, General Manager of Eldora Speedway.  “Shane and the love of his life, Michelle Heindl, are the parents of two beautiful children, Lexi (3 years old) and Owen (5 months old) and his favorite hobby was working on his racecar with them.  The Unger family are the kind of people that makeup the heart and soul of short-track racing. It's a tremendous loss for the entire Eldora family."

Envelopes for donations direct to the family will also be available at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville, Ohio, at the visitation tonight (Wednesday, September 14) from 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and again at the service tomorrow (Thursday, September 15) at 10:30 a.m.
