Erin Kelly, 48, died Friday when her team's car crashed near Lower Richardson Lake during the New England Forest Rally.
The crash remains under investigation.Following the tragedy, race organizers and ARA officials met with other competitors and decided to cancel the rest of the event, which was scheduled to continue Saturday near Errol, NH., with the organization adding that they would be holding a get-together and cookout Saturday afternoon at Sunday River.
“Our focus right now is on Erin, TJ, and their families,” ARA Series Director Preston Osborn said in a statement. “Erin was an accomplished co-driver and a well-loved member of our rally community. We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and our competitors and fans.” The chairman of the New England Forest Rally, Chris Cyr, told News Center Maine that Kelly had been in the sport for around a decade.Cyr also told News Center Maine that this year's Forest Rally was supposed to be a big celebration following the death of one of their most famous drivers, Ken Block, last winter in a snowmobile accident.
"It's very rare to have a fatality and something just feels off right now for sure," Cyr said."We hope Erin's family can get some peace in this time… we are just going to take some time and hopefully be back in the future."
