 Talladega County Coroner Jerry Castleberry says two men were killed Monday after being electrocuted at the Talladega Superspeedway.

Castleberry says 39-year-old Keith Stell of Birmingham and 42-year-old Ronny Wright of Remlap died instantly.

The men were camping at the Speedway and were electrocuted after the flagpole they were trying to erect fell into some power lines.

Castleberry said witnesses at the scene said gusts of wind caused the flagpole to fall.

He said the men had still been holding on to the pole when it touched the power lines and they --quote-- "didn't have a chance."
