INDIANAPOLIS (WIBQ) - A 13-year-old motorcycle racer was killed at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday. Peter Lenz suffered "traumatic injuries" after being struck by another driver.

Lenz was hit by a 12-year-old racer Xavier Zayat, after he crashed and was stretchered off the track and rushed to a nearby hospital where he died three hours later. Lenz had won nine national championships in his six years of riding bikes. He is the first competitor to die at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2003 when Tony Renna was killed in an IndyCar race.
