"Wrich's race car was dicing with two other competitors when it flipped and rolled several times on the backstretch of the Crawford County Speedway, landing on its roof and catching fire. The firefighters had to right the burning car on its wheels before they could extract the driver. Wrich suffered extensive burns and was first transported to the Crawford County Memorial Hospital, and later airlifted to the St. Elizabeth`s Hospital in Lincoln, where he passed away the following night."
Dwight Wrich, who was the Vice President of the Investment Department of Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Millard, Nebraska, had started racing in the early 90s in the Pro Am class and soon moved up to the Late Model class. His achievements include numerous A Features in Southeastern Nebraska and Southwestern Iowa, less than two weeks before his death he had captured the Tiny Lund Grand National Championship at Shelby County Speedway.
