The race last night at Kennedale was postponed due to an official being killed and another injured while responding to a crash.
"A collision between two emergency vehicles during Saturday night’s World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series event at Kennedale Speedway Park resulted in a fatal injury to one official and serious injuries to another."

First of all, my heart goes out to the families of those involved. I can't even imagine.
For decades now, I've watched those safety crews and officials put their lives on the line and rush to the scene of a car/driver in trouble. I would want that if it were me or a loved one sitting in that car. I have some thoughts on this, but today's not the day.
Prayers for all.

Well said. Prayers to all those impacted my this tragic event. Rest in peace to the person who lost their life doing something they loved.

So sorry to hear this tragic news. Hopefully the incident was not shown live on Dirtvision. I was at a wedding last night, otherwise I would have been watching live.

It was not. You could tell something very bad had happened the way other officials reacted, and from the commentary in the background, but that was all. They immediately cut to commercials, and then showed World of Outlaws Late Model show before canceling the spring car show.
