USAC MOURNS PASSING OF BAILEY SCHWEITZER

USAC MOURNS PASSING OF BAILEY SCHWEITZER

USAC is heartbroken to learn of a death in our racing family.  Twenty-year-old Bailey Schweitzer, daughter of the Schweitzer family who owns Bakersfield (Calif.) Speedway, passed away Sunday, Oct. 1, when a gunman opened fire into a crowd of spectators attending a Las Vegas country music festival.  Among Bailey’s roles at Bakersfield Speedway included scorekeeping, social media updates and recording video of each event.  USAC extends its deepest condolences to the Schweitzer family as well as all the families affected in this terrible tragedy.
