Hunter had just completed a race, Gonzales said. Witnesses said Hunter's driving forced other drivers off or to the side of the track.

After the investigation, Gonzales arrested Hunter on suspicion of driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content level higher than 0.08 percent.

Luckily, nobody was injured.
