Memorial Day weekend is typically a time to remember and honor the troops that support our country, but this year, drivers, fans and family of the late Spencer Clark paid tribute to the 19-year-old North Las Vegas resident who was killed along with a teammate in a car accident outside of Albuquerque, N.M., on May 21.

Clark and Allegiant Air Race Team member Andrew Phillips, 28, were returning from Charlotte, N.C., in a truck pulling a trailer containing a new car Clark's family purchased for him when the trailer started to fishtail in high crosswinds before rolling over, according to a New Mexico state police report. Clark was scheduled to race the new car for the first time on May 28 at Irwindale Raceway in Southern California.
