He biked going into turn 3 during qualifying and flipped into the wall. Everyone say a prayer for him and his family and friends.

Right as soon as we walked in after paying they announced cancellation. Fire chief truck came in ahead of us lights and sirens going. There was police explorer directly in front of us no lights on though when the fire chief truck went by.

Just got home, Didn't look like he biked, look like something broke, car nosed in and violently flipped.

Praying for our track champ, His family and good friends. Just saying by the way things went down, I'll pray for the best, but expect the worst.

Also thanks to the track workers, Fire and EMT's who showed up. If something could be done, they could do it. Conner was there when the car stopped.

Don't know why I checked the broadcast, But he did bike. (Prayers for everyone) Wish Flo would remove it.
