Tom Naylor died at the wheel of his supermodified at Mesa Marin Raceway. He was the second driver to die in an open-wheel car at Mesa Marin in less than a year. Billy Vukovich III was killed Nov. 25, 1991, in an accident at nearly the same spot where Naylor crashed.
Naylor raced for 20 years in the western United States and finished the season fourth in points at Meridian (Idaho) Speedway.
Tom's brother, Bob was killed at the age of 25 during a sprintcar practice run on Feb. 9, 1980, in Las Vegas.
