DEVELOPING: Mechanical Problem To Blame For Leffler Crash

((ht: njsp.org))

Not that it is a surprise, but the New Jersey State Police have released the preliminary findings in their investigation of a crash that killed former NASCAR driver Jason Leffler.

The crash that took Leffler's life happened on June 12th at the Bridgeport Speedway.

According to the report, a torsion stop on the left side of Leffler's car came off, allowing the torsion bar and arm to fall out of its housing. That in turn got caught on the underside of the car...and the rest shall we say, was not good.

Leffler, who was often referred to as "Lefturn" was buried on June 19th, his funeral attended by a virtual who's who in the NASCAR community.

That funeral took place in Cornelius, North Carolina.
