LAS VEGAS – The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will host a Celebration of Life for Jason Dubs on Saturday, Jan. 9 at noon. The celebration will begin at the starting line of the drag strip at noon and later move to the drivers’ meeting room in the superspeedway’s infield media center at 1 p.m.
Jason was involved in an accident on Nellis Blvd. in Las Vegas on Monday evening and remains in critical condition in the UMC Trauma Intensive Care Unit.
Chris Blair, LVMS’ vice president of racing operations, is Jason’s brother-in-law.
“The outpouring of support to our family has been tremendous and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers,” Blair said. “No one really knew just how many lives had been touched by Jason here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We have family and friends coming in from all over the country. His brother is traveling here from England. We want to take this opportunity to assemble in one place to say ‘thank you’ for the love you've shown.
“Jason's biological family and his LVMS family would like to invite everyone to join us on Saturday for a celebration of the life of Jason Dubs. Friends are welcome to share stories about Jason and pay tribute to him.”
Jason John Dubs, 37, is a native of Freeport, Ill. He has been member of the starting-line team and a track preparation specialist for The Strip at LVMS since 2003. Jason is regarded in the motorsports industry as one of the premiere racing track preparation specialists.
