Damien Westfall Memorial Race & Fundraiser

Damien had been racing in our community since he was very young, and to have this happen is beyond heartbreaking. Come out and Remember Damien Westfall as we do one of the things he loved this weekend.

A 21-year-old Stephenson man was killed in a single-vehicle crash Tuesday evening on Berryville Pike (Va. 7) in Frederick County, about a quarter of a mile west of Valley Mill Road (Route 659), according to state police.

The crash occurred just after 6 p.m. as Damien S. Westfall was traveling west on Berryville Pike in a 1994 Honda Civic. State police said the Honda ran off the left side of the roadway, collided with a tree, overturned, and came to rest on the eastbound side of Berryville Pike.

“Everyone that ever came into contact with Damien will tell you he had a contagious smile that could light up any room,” his parents said in an email. “He was the hardest-working kid you would ever meet and the kindest soul that would give you anything you needed, including the shirt off his back without hesitation. Damien never had any enemies and he was well-loved by everyone that has ever met him. He had a love for race cars and his dog Bandit along with his other hobbies that included race car racing.”
