Bronson Speedway 4/11

bronsonBronson Speedway fans were treated to an exciting evening of intense, side by side, paint swapping, heart pounding “thats what we call racing” events this past Saturday night. If you were not there you definitely missed a night of come backs…
Kevin Durden returned to the high banks of Bronson Speedway in the “Pork Chop Wilson” owned # 56.

Passenger killed in Lamborghini crash at Disney racetrack ‘driving experience’

EDEatWDWS_one_color_whiteback-640x197(CNN)A Lamborghini sports car crashed into a guardrail at Walt Disney World Speedway on Sunday, killing a passenger, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash occurred at 3:30 p.m. at the Exotic Driving Experience, which bills itself as a chance to drive your dream car on a racetrack.

A male 36-year-old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. The car’s driver, a man who lost control of the vehicle, was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said.

Petty Holdings, which operates the Exotic Driving Experience at Walt Disney World Speedway, released a statement Sunday night about the crash.

“On behalf of everyone in the organization, it is with a very heavy heart that we extend our deepest sympathies to those involved in today’s tragic accident in Orlando,” the company said.

Petty Holdings also operates the Richard Petty Driving Experience — a chance to drive or ride in NASCAR race cars named for the winningest driver in the sport’s history.
