(UNDATED) -Funeral services for NHRA driver Eric Medlen are scheduled for this morning in Brownsburg.

Medlen died Friday of a head injury suffered in a testing crash last Monday in Gainesville, Florida.

Medlen spent three seasons driving a funny car for John Force Racing and moved to Brownsburg when the team opened a shop there.
