“We are truly sad about the situation. This was such a freak accident as the parent said,” the post said. “This is not a time to bash the track but a time to remember this little girl and support her family. We are a community, and we will do our part in supporting the family as well.”

The motorsports park also announced that they will be organizing a "tribute ride" in Brooke's memory soon.

Brooke was 'an absolute sweetheart'

A GoFundMe page, organized by a friend of Brooke's family, described Brooke as "an absolute sweetheart that could brighten anyone’s day with her warm smile and bright blonde halo of curls. For those that REALLY knew Brooke, she was a total spitfire that knew what she wanted and there was no way of getting around it.”

"Our hearts are completely shattered at the sudden and absolutely tragic loss of Jason and Angie’s very own Brooke Carlton," the GoFundMe page said, with Brooke's parents describing the incident as a "freak accident".

Page organizer Ally Giles, in an update Tuesday, said that all funds raised through the page and otherwise will be used to keep Brooke's memory alive.

"We all miss you sweet baby, but we know you are in His hands now (and probably asking him for some ice cream)," Giles said.
