Couple killed at auto race track lost son in crash

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A couple killed when two sprint cars collided at a race track and hurtled into spectators had lost their son in a racing accident 14 years ago.

Paul and Helen Bagley, of Hesperia, had embraced the world of sprint car racing after the May 1989 death of their 29-year-old son, Jeff. The couple planned to attend an annual race named in his honor May 3, and Paul Bagley served on the board of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum Foundation in Knoxville, Iowa.

On Saturday at the Perris Auto Speedway, about 40 miles east of Los Angeles, one car flipped into the stands and the second flew into the infield, hitting the couple.

Paul Bagley, 74, was pronounced dead at the scene. Helen Bagley, 72, died less than an hour later. The driver of one of the cars suffered back and neck injuries.

Jeff Bagley died of injuries he suffered in a crash with a fellow driver on the fourth lap of a race at Ascot Park.

Three years ago the Bagleys established the Jeff Bagley Classic, held at the Ventura Raceway.

Family friend Ann Wilkerson said she had wondered why the couple returned to racing after the death of their son.

"But where else do you go?" she said. "You go to where the people are who love you and who can remember the good times you had."
