Three men were shot dead at a drag race track in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on Sunday, local media reported, adding that no suspects were identified and no motive determined.

The shooting took place at the Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin at dusk, when more tan 5000 people were at the raceway for an event known as "Larry's Fun Fest."

The three men were shot by another man at point-blank range near a food vendor, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said at a news conference Sunday night.

The victims, in their 20s or early 30s, were from Illinois and their identities were not released. Two of them died at the scene, and the third died while being transported to a hospital.

"We're not aware of any danger to the community," Beth said.
