Sprint Car Driver Passes Away

In Australia, where they have over 100 sprint car tracks, they haven't had a fatality in racing since 1971. That streak of good fortune came to an end Monday night when Scott Darley's car veered off the track and crashed into a concrete wall in a qualifier.

Officials are initially thinking his throttle stuck open, leaving him helpless to control his car.

His fiancee and father were there at the time.

Our condolences to his family and friends in this tragic moment.
