A Mackinaw, IL man is dead following a fiery crash at an Indiana drag strip last week. Authorities say the victim was performing a solo timed run on the track last Friday at the US 41 Motorplex in Newton County, Indiana. The vehicle lost control after crossing the finish line and collided with the guardrail, causing it to go airborne before coming to rest in a nearby wooded area. The vehicle caught fire, killing the driver.

Emergency personnel, including Sheriffs deputies and Morocco Fire, responded about 5:30 pm.
