Yahoo.com - Jason Leffler dies from injuries suffered at Bridgeport Speedway race
New Jersey state police have announced that NASCAR driver Jason Leffler has died as a result of injuries suffered in a wreck at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. Leffler was racing a Sprint Car at the track's "Night of Wings."
Leffler apparently flipped in the track's front stretch and, according to eyewitness accounts, was extracted from the car on a board. He was airlifted out of the track via helicopter. The remainder of the night's racing was cancelled. According to state police, Leffler was pronounced dead at 9:02 p.m. ET.
Leffler, age 37, spent most of his decade-plus career in the Nationwide series, running full schedules from 2006 to 2011. He had two wins, 42 top fives and 107 top 10s in the Nationwide series. He's also run 73 races in Sprint Cup, most recently at Pocono last week.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Jason Leffler's family and friends. Sad to hear about his death.
