Jim Richard Haynes's upright sprint car hit the turn four wall hard at lap 23 of the race, causing Haynes' head to also strike the wall, knocking him unconscious. The car continued down the track at speed and drove head-on into the wall at the next turn. It was reported the accident happened because the throttle stuck and the car went out of control.
Haynes succumbed to his injuries three days later, at 10h45 on Wednesday, 27 February 1985 at Barrows Neurological Institute of St. Joseph's Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jim Haynes began his racing career riding motorcycles, then switched to sprint cars in 1978. He was based in Florida, where he was most active with TBARA (Tampa Bay Area Racing Association). He had been named Most Improved Driver in 1979, and in 1984 he finished second in points. He had been planning a campaign in USAC Dirt Car series in 1985. TBARA has held a Jim Haynes Memorial race yearly since his death.

Happened on June 9, 2024, around 3 or 4 am in Samara, Russia
20 years old man identified as Seva Kurganov was driving a rented Volkswagen Polo through Samara.
Together with Seva, there were three
passengers - Kirill Petrovsky (17), Ilya Yelagin (17) and Liza Rogacheva (16).
On Batayskaya Street Seva lost control
and crashed into a parked Hino bus at high speed.
All three men died on spot. Liza was taken to a hospital
in critical condition, but she also later died.
A friend of the victims told 63 RU:
I knew them a little
myself, we are all from Krasnaya Glinka. Normal
guys, basically still kids.
They loved various activities. They would
go for a walk, to the beach, to drive
around in a car.
The girl (Liza) was a very good student. She was working
as a breakdance teacher
in a local club.
I had never
seen them drunk. Horrible tragedy.
