At Wayne County Speedway on Monday night for the All Star Circuit of Champions race an incident occurred during the B feature that saw a car strike and injure three spectators in the infield.

In the closing laps of the race, Aiden Price and Chris Myers were in a dog fight for the fourth and final transfer spot. Price attempted to slide Myers, but instead slammed hard into his side. The contact ran Myers into the wall while Price ended up on his side. While this was happening a third car went into the infield and struck three spectators.
