Who was Ryan Fellows?
Ryan Fellows died in a fiery crash while racing against another driver in the 8th race out of nine that were scheduled for the night's show.
He was driving a gold Nissan 240z at the time of the crash which comes a year after he was involved in a near crash that almost killed him.
In a 2021 video from Fellows' Discovery Channel program, he had described himself as "a big drag racing guy," while behind the wheel of a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan.
He said he had "put it on the street to see if [he] could drag with it."
In the video, the Lamborghini, "almost crashed," but luckily Fellows "got it under control, and everyone was safe."
Fellows lost the race but it showed the high risks involved in his profession.

"The only thing he loved more than these efforts and achievements were his family-his wife Liz, children Josiah (18) and Olivia (10).
