The back end of the Mustang hit the back end of the pickup, causing Wright to lose control and roll over, according to Nisbet. He said the truck pinned Wright against a post.
Nisbet said Wright died of positional asphyxia, meaning he couldnÔÇÖt breathe.
Dorchester County sheriffÔÇÖs Maj. John Garrison said the other driver was not injured in the 9:15 p.m. crash.

Very unfortunate. Tara/Rob again very sorry this happened to you and that you were involved with this tragedy. I hope you handle the grieving well and recover at your own pace. Also my condolences to Barrys familiy. It must have happened about 10-15 minutes after I left.
If you go to the track try to take every precaution possible to remain as safe as possible but know you are not guaranteed to survive and get to go home to your loved ones.
This sports consequences are far greater than its rewards.
