26-year-old Sprint car driver Justin Owen died from injuries he suffered when his car crashed during a race in southeastern Indiana.
Owen was the reigning track champion at Lawrenceburg Speedway with two feature wins and the title in 2022, USAC said. It was Owen's first crown at the 3/8-mile dirt oval where he competed in the sprint car division for the past several seasons.
Among his top achievements were a victory in the season-closing Dick Gaines Memorial during his Lawrenceburg championship season in 2022, USAC said. In 2019, Owen had three victories, at the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series at Pennsylvania's Lernerville Speedway, his second victory in the event after one in 2016; at Indiana's Paragon Speedway; and at Lawrenceburg's Night of Champions event.
Racer Chase Briscoe also acknowledged Owen's death on social media, noting that he had"raced against Justin quite a bit in sprint cars."Post race I learned about the passing of Justin Owen, raced against Justin quite a bit in sprint cars. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
