John Schulz died Saturday night after his car rolled on the back straightaway during the second lap of the modified division race. Cass County officials said Schulz was taken to a Fargo hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Another driver, John Odden, was just behind Schulz and said he saw Schulz slide into fellow driver Jon Bachmeier before Schulz’s car became airborne.

“When I saw him launch up in the air, I knew right away it was a bad deal,” Odden said. “He was a good 25-30 feet in the air. … I slowed down and turned left to avoid it. I saw his roof hit. That’s the last point that I saw.”

This is terrible and I know as a racing family we all take this to heart.. I am sending my prayers out the the drivers family.. I thought most of you might like to see this.. I was there and kinda glad now..
