Police say Amanda Gambacorto was taking part in a driving clinic for a small race at the Wall Stadium Speedway at about 12:30 p.m. when she lost control of the vehicle.

The 21-year old crashed her three-quarter midget car into a wall and died a short time later at Jersey Shore Medical Center. No one else was hurt.

Investigators are checking to make sure all safety regulations were followed during the clinic.
