Mother of rising motocross star discloses cause of death

Aidan Zingg, a 16-year-old rising motocross star, died from “cardiac tamponade,’’ his mother, Shari, told USA TODAY Sports.

The fatal mid-race crash took place June 28 in Mammoth Lakes, California, and his parents said they hoped autopsy results would help clear up the circumstances around Zingg’s death.

The Mono County Sheriff’s Office is conducting the autopsy of Zingg, who lived with his family in Southern California.

Sarah Roberts, public information officer for the Sheriff’s Office, said she did not have any information to release.

 “The family has the same if not more information, then we have,’’ Roberts wrote in an email.

Shari Zingg provided no additional information.

More: Three young motocross riders have died this year, renewing safety debate

The death is being investigated by the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.

Zingg is one of three motocross riders 16 or younger who have died this year. In February, a 12-year-old boy died during a motocross crash in Georgia. In June, 2 1/2 weeks before Aidan’s death, a 14-year-old boy died after an accident at a motocross practice in North Carolina.

What is cardiac tamponade?

This is a medical emergency, according to the Cleveland Clinic, which reports a healthcare provider has to remove the extra fluid with a needle or surgery.

“You need quick treatment for a good outcome,” according to the Cleveland Clinic.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, cardiac tamponade “describes a heart that has so much fluid around it that it can’t pump enough blood. The force of this fluid makes it hard for your heart to do its job.”

Chest trauma is one cause of cardiac tamponade, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Zingg suffered chest trauma during the crash, according to Myron Short, who was the race promoter.

Tower Motorsports led Friday afternoon’s first practice session for IMSA’s Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.

While Sebastien Bourdais is unavailable this week due to commitments in Brazil with the FIA World Endurance Championship, his substitute – former Cadillac Racing co-driver Renger van der Zande – was the quickest driver in the 90-minute session. Van der Zande set a 1m08.402s in the orange and black No. 8 ORECA 07-Gibson to lead the way in LMP2.

United Autosports USA’s two cars finished second and fourth with the No. 2 of Ben Hanley timing in three-tenths ahead of the No. 22 of substitute driver Tom Blomqvist. Dane Cameron in the No. 99 AO Racing car was third quickest.

TDS Racing’s Steven Thomas had only completed two laps when he went off at Turn 1 and crashed into the tire barriers, bringing out a red flag. The car was towed back to the paddock with heavy left-rear damage, though Thomas was uninjured.

Before the event, PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports also confirmed a driver change for this weekend: Nick Boulle, who won the 2024 IMSA LMP2 title in the No. 52 PR1 Mathiasen car (joint-entered by Inter Europol Competition), will join Daytona podium finisher Benjamin Pedersen. They replace Rodrigo Sales and Mathias Beche, respectively.

Sporting a red and black one-off livery, the No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 set the pace in GTD PRO.

Andrea Caldarelli set a 1m15.580s early on, putting him almost half a second up on the No. 4 Pratt Miller Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Nicky Catsburg in second. This was despite the Lamborghini receiving a significant weight increase and power reduction in the latest Balance of Performance adjustments.

Vasser Sullivan Racing’s Lexus RC F GT3s were next in the order, with the No. 12 car of Jack Hawksworth leading the GTD class, and the No. 14 of Ben Barnicoat sitting third in GTD PRO. Their quickest times were separated by just five-thousandths of a second.

Rounding out the top three in GTD were the No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3, and the No. 70 Inception Racing Ferrari 296 GT3.

Practice 2 starts tomorrow at 10:35am ET.

NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson’s Legacy Motor Club has announced a major sponsorship extension with Dollar Tree ahead of the Cup Series team’s trip to Sonoma Raceway.

The team revealed on Tuesday that it had come to an agreement to extend its deal with the discount store, which began in January 2024, that will see the brand represented on Erik Jones’ No. 43 Toyota Camry XSE and John Hunter Nemechek’s No. 42 – whose In-Season Challenge battle is heating up – through the 2028 season.

“Having such a recognizable brand like Dollar Tree with us for years to come gives the CLUB stability and energy,” Jones said in a statement. “We are building a legacy together and hope to enjoy success for years to come.”

Nemechek also wrote a statement, reading, “It’s an honor to continue carrying the Dollar Tree brand on our cars. Their support helps us deliver results on track, bring value back to their vendor partners and helps build fandom of the CLUB.”

Meanwhile, Legacy Motor Club CEO Cal Wells III described the chain as “a foundational partner,” adding that “Their continued investment and commitment will enable us to execute our competitive vision and strengthens our ability to support championship aspirations.”

Ricky McNeely, the chief marketing officer for the retailer valued at $22.8 billion, added that the brand was “excited” about this new extension. “This continued collaboration puts our brand in front of millions of loyal NASCAR fans and gives us the opportunity to drive deeper engagement with customers in a bold, high-energy environment. We’re looking forward to what’s ahead with Jimmie, John Hunter, Erik, and the entire Legacy Motor Club team.”

The ongoing Cup Series season has been a solid one to date for Legacy, with both Jones and Nemechek regulars in the top 20. Jones has managed to work his way into the top 10 on three occasions, including season-best finishes of fifth at Texas Motor Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway. As for Nemechek, he’s cracked the top 10 six times, with his fifth-place finish at the Daytona 500 his best of the year.

However, the team’s best finish in the Series so far came courtesy of seven-time champion and part-time driver Johnson, who managed a remarkable third place at Daytona in his first of just two races he is set to enter this year.

With just ten races remaining, neither Jones nor Nemechek has yet secured their spot in the playoffs as they sit 20th and 22nd, respectively, in the playoff picture. But while both will be hoping to secure valuable points at Sonoma for the sake of their playoff pushes, there is more on the line than usual for the Legacy pair in California.

DON’T MISS…

Jones and Nemechek are set to go head-to-head at Sonoma in the third round of the ongoing inaugural NASCAR In-Season Challenge – prompting both to engage in a hilarious battle on social media.

Whichever driver ultimately comes out on top on Sunday will progress to the final four as they continue the pursuit of the $1 million prize fund.
