NASCAR to Probe Fatal Charlotte Crash in Sportsman Race
NASCAR president Bill France announced an investigation into the fatal crash at Charlotte Motor Speedway that claimed Russell Phillips’s life during a Friday Sportsman Division race. France said the rollbar worked as designed and two cars spun, triggering the fatal impact. Mark Martin won the All Pro Bumper to Bumper 300 at the track, 1.08 seconds ahead of Dale Jarrett. Benson leads the Grand National standings after crashes involving him and Chad Little. The UAW-CM Quality 500 weekend features Martin starting fifth as a new pit stop rule tweaks lug wrench use.
