NASCAR Driver Candace Muzny Found Dead In OKC Home Monday ‘Suspicious’

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. (THECOUNT) — Former NASCAR driver, Candace Muzny, was found dead in her Oklahoma City home on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Muzny, 43, was found dead in her home Monday in an incident police are calling a “suspicious death.”

Raushae Jones, Muzny’s neighbor said he arrived home around 5 p.m. Monday to find the driver’s family distraught in the front yard.

“I just pulled in right there, and the woman was already in the front crying and she was on the phone with somebody,” Jones said Monday.

The former driver was arrested last month after allegedly punching a nail technician for not speaking English and then allegedly cutting the responding police officer with a knife.

She’d only been out of jail for a few days, released Friday.

“They always seemed like nice people, so I didn’t really – I don’t know. It was just shocking,” Jones said.

Muzny’s body was discovered around 5 p.m. local time.

Muzny participated in two races in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series, one in 2011 and one in 2012. Other races included the 2009 Toyota All-Star Showdown and 2009 Last Chance Open, reports Live5.
