BRASELTON, Ga. — Race car driver Scott Liebler died Sunday night of injuries he received in a crash during Saturday’s Sports Car Club of America race at Road Atlanta.

After the crash, Liebler’s Martini MK 53 car became airborne, rolling several times and coming to rest upright about 100 yards away.
He died Sunday night of edema, or accumulation of fluid, near his brain, according to officials at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in nearby Gainesville.
