Driver in fatal Knoxville accident identified

June 19, 2006 By admin

Authorities have released the name of the race car driver from Minnesota who was killed over the weekend at an Iowa track. It was Nostalgia Night at the Knoxville Raceway Friday, an event where retired drivers from across the Midwest brought their old cars to the track.

Sixty-one-year-old Courtney “Roger” Schurr, from the Minneapolis suburb of Fridley, was among those taking part in the race when things turned tragic as his car hit another and flipped. Schurr was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Funeral arrangements are pending.
