June 20, 200916 yr From Wikipedia: During the 97th lap of a 100-lap NASCAR Mexico Series race at Autódromo Miguel E. Abed in Amozoc, Puebla, on June 14, 2009 Pardo was hit by Jorge Goeters, which caused him to lose control of his car and impacted against a barrier sideways at over 200 km/h causing the disintegration of the car. He was transported to a local hospital by helicopter, where he was pronounced dead. He was declared the winner of the race since he was leading the race at the last completed lap before the accident occurred, beating Goeters by 0.044 seconds. Pardo, driving for Motorcraft team, had started the race from the last row. He is survived by wife Ana, and an infant child. Pardo's brother Ruben also competes in the NASCAR Mexico Series, and finished sixth in the race that his brother won posthumously.
