Brett M. Sloppy, 28 of San Marcos is the driver who was behind the wheel of the truck involved in that tragic crash that resulted in the deaths of at least eight people at the California 200 Night Race.


CHP officer Joaquin Zubieta has told the Press Enterprise Newspaper that alcohol was not a factor in the crash and there were no plans to arrest Sloppy.

Zubieta said state vehicle codes don't apply because it was a sanctioned racing event held with the approval of the federal Bureau of Land Management, which owns the land used for the race.   

Sloppy posted this update on his Facebook page to his friends at around 11 hours ago, or at around 4 a.m. this morning: 

"Soo incredibly lost and devistated (sp) my thoughts and prayers go out to all the familys and friends involved.. Thank you too all my friends for sticking with me even thru these tragic times I love you all,"  he said.
