Yep. It's on the 4m website as well. Also heard it was a possible suicide and possible they may have found a woman dead in a camper. Not sure how true this is. Just what I have heard.

2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

I just hope this didn't have anything to do with all the talk about traction control!

I was there Saturday while they were investigating the second death. Real bad deal for the promoter and auto racing in general. These two separate incidents destroyed Brownstown's biggest racing event of the year. That's a bad deal for the promoter.

As for auto racing, it doesn't need black eyes like these. I saw that Mike Miller won the BOSS title, and I saw Kyle Cummins get crowned the MSCS champion. Two finer people you'll never meet. Problem is the media will never mention these two drivers, but they pound the sport of auto racing to death over what happened at Brownstown. Media isn't the friend it once was to auto racing, and this won't help at all.

Do you really think these two incidents are not related? I would have thought there would be some connection to the two....

As of when I left the track yesterday , I was informed they weren't. It could be different today. That's all I've got to say, I'm not going to feed the rumor mill any more.

The two incidents are unrelated.

Thats all I can speak of on the matter.
