At around 12:11 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue crews were dispatched to the report of a vehicle fire at Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club, located off Highway 160.
“Upon their arrival, they found an extinguished race car that was out on a track,” Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Chief Scott Lewis told the Pahrump Valley Times.
