— Justin Owen, who has been a competitor in the sprint car ranks for more than a decade, succumbed to injuries sustained in a qualifying crash during Saturday night’s USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship event at Indiana’s Lawrenceburg Speedway. Owen was the reigning track champion at Lawrenceburg Speedway, scoring two feature wins and the title last year. Back in 2019, Owen collected three victories, one with the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series at Pennsylvania’s Lernerville Speedway, once at Indiana’s Paragon Speedway and again at Lawrenceburg’s Night of Champions event. With USAC, Owen made two feature starts, both at Lawrenceburg in 2019 and 2021.
