Police and emergency medical personnel reportedly responded to a 9-1-1 call just before midnight Sunday, and efforts to revive her; one scene, in the ambulance and at the hospital were unsuccessful.
Two-week old Katie and her mother attended the recent NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at NHMS, after track president Jerry Gappens promised her and her family free tickets for life.
Foul play is not suspected.
