Drag racer dies at Rockingham

A memorial service was held Saturday at Rockingham Dragway for a 51-year-old competitor who was fatally injured in a wreck during qualifying Friday night.

Bert Jackson's Extreme Pro Stock Pontiac hit the right-side wall on the eighth-mile strip, then the left-side barrier before beginning a series of barrel rolls, witnesses said. Some witnesses speculated the car 's throttle had stuck.

The accident happened during the third qualifying session of the American Drag Racing League’s Dragstock VIII at the Rockingham strip.

Jackson, of Glen Allen, Va., was pronounced dead at FirstHealth Richmond Memorial Hospital in Rockingham.
