Separately, a teenager was killed in a single-vehicle collision in County Down on Friday.
Jack Morrow, 17, died in a crash near Rathfriland at around 2.30am on Friday, May 24.
A 19-year-old lad, who was also in the car, was hospitalised with serious injuries.
Jack, who was from Rathfriland, was described as one of the most talented drivers to emerge on the stock car scene.
DMC Race Promotions said the racing community had been left stunned by the incident.
They said: “DMC Race Promotions were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Jack Morrow as a result of a road accident at just 17 years old.
“Jack was a quiet, unassuming lad who let his driving on the track do the talking. A multiple winner in Ninja Karts, it was when he moved up to the Junior Productions formula that he really stood out.
“He quickly became the driver to beat in the class and remained there until the end of his Juniors career.
“British Champion, Irish Champion, Irish Open Champion, NI Points Champion and Scottish Open Champion were just some of the accolades he gathered during his time in the formula.
“In recent times Jack dabbled in the Superstox formula with us and was surely destined for big things in oval racing.
“Everyone at DMC Race Promotions would like to send our deepest condolences to Jack’s parents Andrew and Jill, his sister Amy, the wider family circle and all his friends at this very difficult time.”
