Police said Gonzales was driving a 1990 Ford Mustang down the 1/8-mile track when he lost control of the car, fishtailing into the crowd just beyond the finish line.

"We would like to express our gratitude to the multiple first responders who assisted the Kerrville Police Department during this tragic event, Kerrville Fire and EMS, Kerr County Sheriff’s Department, Center Point Volunteer Fire Department, Mountain Home Volunteer Fire Department, and other volunteers," Lamb said.
