Original Post: At least one driver was hospitalized tonight, after a high-speed collision at the Redwood Acres Raceway.
LoCO reporter Andrew Goff is on scene and was told by an eyewitness that two stock cars were involved in an initial collision that slammed one car into a wall, where it briefly caught fire. Two other stock cars were also involved in a lower-impact collision while trying to avoid the first two cars.
The crash occurred lap eight of the 125-lap race. We were told the race would continue after the crew cleans and clears the track.
