A month after his spouse Chandra‘s 69-year-old dad and mom Jack and Terry Lynn Janway and 11-year-old nephew Dalton had been killed in what authorities imagine was a murder-suicide, the NASCAR driver shared a heartbreaking assertion mourning their deaths.

“Our household is devastated by the profound lack of Lynn, Jack and Dalton Janway,” he wrote on Instagram July 28. “Now we have been humbled by the outpouring of affection and help throughout this unthinkably unhappy time and stay grateful for your entire compassion.”

Upon their arrival, authorities discovered “a topic laying within the hallway contained in the entrance door” and “heard one other gunshot from additional inside the home.”
