Veteran Sprint car driver David Steele is killed in horrific crash

Sprint car veteran David Steele died during a race in Florida this weekend and the dramatic crash was caught on camera.
The crash involving the 42-year-old took place during the Southern Car Spring Shootout Series at Desoto Speedway in Bradenton on Saturday.
The shocking incident, which was captured on video, involved Steele's vehicle hitting a retaining wall.
A Manatee County Sheriff's Office report says Steele was driving a sprint car when his vehicle's left front wheel struck the right rear wheel of another car.
The report says that caused Steele's vehicle to go up in the air, spin 180 degrees and hit the retaining wall.
Medics attempted to treat him but he was pronounced dead.
The Bradenton Herald reported that track emergency personnel got to Steele's car 'in seconds', yet his death was declared on the track.
He's survived by his wife Lynn Bunn Steele and three children, the paper said.
Desoto Speedway officials said in a Facebook post on Saturday night that track owners and staff were saddened by the crash.
The speedway said in a Sunday post: 'He recently won his 100th feature in the state of Florida - the first to ever accomplish that feat - when he took the checkered flag in the Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series feature at 4-17 Southern Speedway.'
Steele, it said, 'was the USAC Silver Crown champion in 2004 and 2005, won the prestigious Little 500 in 1996 and 2009 and was the winner of the 2001 and 2003 Turkey Night Grand Prix events at Irwindale Speedway in California.'
'Steele also owned every sprint car record at DeSoto Speedway, including the fastest lap turned in the track's history,' according to the post.
The United States Auto Club (USAC) said on its website: 'Steele ranks 14th on USAC's national win list with 60 victories between 1996 and 2007.'
USAC said: 'Steele was a three-time Tampa Bay Area Racing Association Sprint Car champ in 2005, 2009 and 2013.
'He also made his way into other racing avenues with the Indy Racing League, where he made three starts in 1998, as well as NASCAR’s Busch Grand National Series (now Xfinity Series) in which he made a pair of starts during the 2000 season.'
USAC series director Levi Jones said in a statement: 'It's hard to put the loss of Dave Steele into words.
'He was a once-in-a-lifetime talent on the track, but even more impressive was the man, the dad and husband he was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.'
NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne tweeted that Steele was 'one of the best and such a good guy to hang out and have a beer with'.
Tony Stewart Racing tweeted: 'Our prayers go out to the family of Dave Steele.
'Our former teammate, he was one of the best open-wheel drivers of this era. Godspeed - TSR.'
