Motorcycle racer, 13, killed on track

A 13-year-old motorcycle racer died Sunday after falling off his bike and being run over by another motorcycle at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The coroner confirmed his death about 3 hours later, the first at the speedway since IndyCar driver Tony Renna was killed in October 2003. Lenz had been riding bikes for six years, won nine national championships and nine regional titles.
