Race car driver Shane Nolan has passed away. No age was provided.
An official cause of death has not been determined. However, according to a social media post, he succumbed to his injuries following a crash this weekend at Lernerville Speedway in Pennsylvania.
“Shane was officially declared deceased this afternoon (Monday),” Amanda Nolan said in a Facebook post. “I kindly request that any photos or videos of his accident be removed and reported. It’s hard enough for us as a family to process this tragedy. Please respect us all and let us navigate these next few days in peace. We will share more information if and when we have it and are ready to do so. Please leave our children alone… To those (who) have reached out with love and prayers… WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THEM… but WE do not want to be a news story. We Open Facebook to see the joys that are happening outside our little world, to take our minds off of our reality… NOT to relive what we will never forget. Thank you.
