They'd find out faster then the pictures that got out. Not everybody relies on the internet for communication, remember, telephones.
Life Flight was called out, but once it got to the track, it circled around, and returned back, that's when most assumed it was fatal. Apparently, the cause is seemingly not due to the race. Witnesses state that the car just plowed into the wall at full force, no braking or steering to intervene. Weather or not that means it was an outside health issue, nobody knows at this point, and it I'll leave it at that.
Tomorrow the drivers will return to the track said one of the V8olvo (Jalopnik) drivers, so I'd assume the race will continue on tomorrow.
On a side note to any commenters here that don't know much about the race, it's a grass-roots style race where the car and anything performance orientated is on a strict $500 limit. Things not included are safety equipment like roll cages, tires, brakes, and the like. Tech inspection is very strict about what passes, so please no rickshaw comments about the cars' safety.
God be with the Family, friends, and fellow racers.
