KENT, Wash. - Top alcohol dragster racer Mark Niver, 60, was killed Sunday when his car crashed at the end of the track at Pacific Raceways in Kent.

The accident happened at about 3:40 p.m. during the eliminations of the National Hot Rod Association's Northwest Nationals.

ESPN reported that the parachutes ripped off the dragster immediately after Niver crossed the finish line. When the dragster hit the catch netting, it buckled the chassis back into the driver cockpit.

Racing was shut down after the deadly crash, said King County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart.

Niver, a longtime NHRA veteran, raced dragsters of all varieties dating back to the 1970s.

He won the 2003 Division 7 event in Tucson, Ariz., breaking a drought that lasted since his win at the 1983 divisional event at Orange County International Raceway.

Niver won two more Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series events after that, the most recent of which was the Tucson event in 2006.

The top achievement in his career came in 2008 when he won the 2008 O’Reilly Summer Nationals in Topeka. Niver won again in 2008 when he scored his second national event victory in Seattle
