A driver from Illinois died Saturday afternoon in a crash at Grattan Raceway.
Jack Drews, 72, of Geneseo, Ill., was driving a 1961 Triumph TR-4 in a vintage-car race when he crashed coming out of the first turn, according to the Kent County Sheriff's Department.
According to the sheriff's report, Drews was driving about 110 mph coming out of a straightaway, and his car did not make the turn, going airborne before striking the outer raceway barrier. Drews was pronounced dead on the scene.
The cause of the accident was under investigation.
