Story seems odd to me. Not “odd” in that it didn’t happen, but I mean he hit a tire wall and died? You’d have to hit a tire wall pretty damn hard. I guess more details will be out soon enough.
RIP…that’s 2 NASCAR racers in 2 weeks.

Uhh it clearly says he was at an SCCA event at road america, so it has nothing to do with nascar.

sounds like some sort of medical condition preceded his encounter with the wall.
