Memorial services for drag racing champion Shelly Howard and her son Brian have been changed because of the number of people wanting to pay their last respects.

Tulsa Police say 59-year-old Howard lost control of her car going more than 200 miles per hour and hit the vehicle her son was riding. Both died at Tulsa Raceway Park at 3101 North Garnett Road Saturday night.

Because of the large crowd expected at the memorial it has been moved to the New Spring Assembly of God Church in Jenks, Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock.

The church is located near US Highway 75 and the Creek Turnpike.
