State Fair will stand pat
State Fair Speedway officials say no additional safety precautions will be made for the remainder of the 2008 season. Sprint cars at State Fair Speedway are required to use a bladder inside the fuel cell at the back of the race car. The bladder holds the fuel and helps prevent fire in case the fuel cell is punctured in a crash. The mini-sprint, which caught fire Saturday at I-44 Speedway and severely burned driver Harli White, did not have a bladder in the fuel cell.
