BEAVER DAM, Wis. (AP) – Sprint car driver Scott Semmelmann was killed in a wreck during practice for a race Saturday night at Beaver Dam Raceway.
Beaver Dam Raceway general manager Carolyn Mueller and Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series President Steve Sinclair confirmed the death.
Semmelmann’s car made contact with another car during the second practice session, flipped three times and hit the outside wall. Semmelmann is from Brookfield. His age wasn’t immediately available.
The race was canceled.
Beaver Dam Raceway is a 0.33-mile clay oval about 75 minutes northwest of Milwaukee.
Last month, Kevin Ward Jr. was killed in a sprint car race at a dirt track in upstate New York when he left his car and was struck by a car driven by NASCAR star Tony Stewart.
