==Death== On September 28, 1958, Reece was killed during a [[United States Automobile Club|USAC]] Champ Car race held at [[Trenton Speedway]]. On the first turn of the last lap, Reece's inside wheels got into the dirt next to the concrete track, causing his car to change its direction and run up an embankment. After bursting through a two-foot wooden fence on the edge of the track, the Kurtis 500G spiraled through the air and smashed down on a hurricane fence, having ejected Reece, who died of multiple injuries in an ambulance.<ref>{{cite news|title=Reece killed in Trenton crash|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=G38eAAAAIBAJ&pg=3815%2C4304356|newspaper=[[The Daytona Beach News-Journal|Daytona Beach Morning Journal]]|agency=Associated Press|date=September 29, 1958}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Reece killed in Trenton crash|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2FdWAAAAIBAJ&pg=5962%2C6303245|newspaper=[[Reading Eagle]]|agency=[[United Press International]]|date=September 29, 1958}}</ref>
