A viewing of Ricky Lundgren will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday, April 11 at the El Camino Memorial Mortuary at 5600 Carroll Canyon Road, San Diego, California 92121. A memorial service will be held at the same location at 10:00 a.m. Friday, April 12.

Advanced Motor Sports Ducati’s Jeff Nash called Roadracingworld.com Tuesday to give service information and to also announce that he was establishing a memorial fund to benefit Lundgren’s family–wife Kelly and twin, two-year-old sons.

“I know he was a stockbroker and all, but he was a motorcycle racer and none of us have a pot to piss in,” said Nash, one of Lundgren’s sponsors. “I know it won’t be much, but I just wanted to do something for his wife and little boys.”

Contributions for the Lundgren family can be made out to Kelly Lundgren and sent c/o AMS, 11550 East F.M. 917 Alvarado, TX 76009, phone (817) 790-0200, FAX (817) 783-8883.

Lundgren, 40, of La Mesa, California, died Friday, April 5 during a Superstock qualifying session after being hit by a crashed motorcycle tumbled over a barrier into oncoming race traffic during the AMA Superbike weekend at California Speedway in Fontana, California.
