MACON, Ga. — Cochran Motor Speedway was closed indefinitely following the death of a woman hit by debris from a car on Labor Day weekend.
Cynthia Nobles, 43, died Monday of injuries sustained during a race Saturday night. A tire and part of an axle flew from a race car and landed in a section of the pit area that wasn’t protected by a fence.
Four others were injured, according to Thursday editions of The Macon Telegraph.
The Bleckley County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
