Peter Lenz's Death Will Not Be Investigated by Racing Group

Filed under: Other Racing SeriesINDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The U.S. Grand Prix Racers Union does not plan to hold a formal investigation into the death of a 13-year-old motorcycle racer in Indianapolis over the weekend.

Stewart Aitken-Cade, a spokesman for the sanctioning body, says the union will discuss ways to make the sport safer. He also says safety measures will be reviewed.

"I don't believe there are grounds for anything drastic," Aitken-Cade said in a phone interview. "That doesn't mean we're not going to look at anything that we can do to prevent something like this from happening again. This is the first accident we've had like this in nine years, and that's a tremendous safety record."

On Sunday, Peter Lenz of Vancouver, Wash., died after being run over at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
