A 60-year-old tourist who crashed while driving a Richard Petty Driving Experience NASCAR vehicle at the Daytona International Speedway died from a medical condition not related to the wreck, according to an autopsy report released on Monday.

Track officials said Robert Boswell was driving around the speedway Sunday night when he lost control of the race car and crashed into a wall.

Boswell was transported to Halifax Health Medical Center, where he was declared dead at about 7 p.m., officials said.

Cars can reach speeds of 120 mph in the simulated stock car racing attraction at the Daytona Beach International Speedway.

Boswell was an avid race fan, officials said.

The Richard Petty driving experience was closed to the public Monday because of the crash.

Officials said an investigation into Boswell's death is closed.
