Terrible news and so sad!
There were no safety measures taken!

Moreover, yesterday was a brutal day for the loss of life of racers at other events around the country.
There were 3 drivers that lost their lives in accidents yesterday also.
My prayers and condolences to all the families!

Did that not happen last year at the same event?

I remember hearing about an accident like that last year at an airport in Texas...

If they have had two such accidents, that is not only horrific, but also seems somehow negligent also...

Sad for all involved.

I just watched a online video of that incident---the driver lost control mid track and was fishtailing back and forth--- looks like he just kept his foot in it to try and beat the other racer -----never lifted until it was probably much too late ----wont bring em back lawsuits already being filed but maybe the spectators "agreed" to a waiver when they purchased a ticket--- I DON'T KNOW --so sad------------- FED 387

I believe you are correct. Look at the date in the link as it states 2021.
