"I hope we had nothing to do with it," says Frank Stallion, of Hickory, North Carolina, told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "We've come to the race for more than 20 years and run our generator, but this was the first time we've been so close to another trailer. Usually we are 15 feet apart. This time we were maybe three to five feet apart. No one thought anything of it."

43-year-old Michael Thies of Ruma, Illinois died of what authorities say was carbon monoxide poisoning on Sunday.  Four others in the RV were hospitalized, three were still there as of Tuesday.

While fire officials said the found a working generator on the RV that Thies died in, they say the family reports that the generator was not operated at the speedway site.  Reports did not indicate the motorhome had a working carbon monoxide detector.
