UPDATE: Sad News from the ASA: The ASA Miller Lite 300 Monday at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds race track was marred by an fatal accident near the entrance to pit row. A crew member for driver Adam Petty died after he was run over by Petty’s car. The crew member, who was not identified because his relatives hadn’t been informed of his death, was under Petty’s car making an adjustment when the jack holding the car was lowered. Not knowing someone was still under the car, Petty — the son of NASCAR Winston Cup driver Kyle Petty and grandson of former NASCAR driver Richard Petty — accelerated out of his pit and ran over the crew member, see the story at Crew member dies after pit accident in Miller Lite 300, the crew member who died was Crew chief Chris Bradley, 40, of Grand Rapids, Mich., he was Johnny Benson’s ASA Crew chief and Glenn Allen Jr.s along with Joe Nott and Adam Petty. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. Updated story at WRAL/AP.(many sources)(9-8-98)
