LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (AP) — The U.S. Auto Club says sprint car driver Justin Owen of Harrison, Ohio, died from injuries he suffered when his car crashed during a race in southeastern Indiana. USAC says Owen’s car struck the outside wall and flipped several times along the third turn in a qualifying race Saturday night for the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship at Lawrenceburg Speedway. USAC canceled the remainder of the event after the crash. USAC says the 26-year-old Owen was the reigning track champion at Lawrenceburg Speedway with two feature wins and the title in 2022.
