NHRA statement

[.]

From Facebook:

A woman who was struck by a tire earlier today at the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird International Raceway was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital this evening. The tire became detached from Antron Brown's dragster following an incident during the first round of eliminations. Brown was not injured.

NHRA is investigating the incident. The entire NHRA community is deeply saddened by today's incident and sends its thoughts and prayers to the woman's family and friends.

Nothing on NHRA.com yet.

It is now. At the bottom of the headline story.

As was mentioned in another thread, lawyers most certainly held them up saying anything sooner.
There are way too many folks out there just looking to make a quick buck @ someone else's expense.
