Just over a year after the North American Eagle land-speed racing team lost one of its two co-drivers, Ed Shadle, and vowed to continue his quest to set a land-speed record, its other co-driver, television personality and racer Jessi Combs, has died in a high-speed crash at the Alvord Desert in Oregon.
The crash took place Tuesday afternoon as the team conducted what was described as a test session on the desert. The test session was the team’s first since last year, when Combs ran the North American Eagle to 483.227 MPH, but a piece of debris damaged the turbine.
