FILE - In this March 21, 2017, file photo, people look at cars at SpeedVegas in Las Vegas. The tourist-oriented auto racing track near Las Vegas suggests in court filings that a Canadian man driving a Lamborghini may have had a medical episode before a fiery crash that killed him and an instructor. Attorneys for SpeedVegas filed the documents Tuesday, April 4, 2017, ahead of a Thursday hearing on a request to close the track. They said investigations of the Feb. 12 crash were not complete and it would be "absurd" to suggest that the year-old facility is unsafe and that the course layout led to the wreck.
