Police said that Millsap was "transient and known to frequent Westminster, Garden Grove, and Anaheim motels."
The former NASCAR driver later died at a local hospital, according to police.
The USAC said that East was an "immediate success" in his career.
"Bobby was an immediate success in his USAC career," the group said in a press release. "His first career triumph with the USAC National Midgets in 2001 at Schererville, Indiana’s Illiana Motor Speedway made Bobby the youngest USAC national feature winner ever at the time, at the age of 16. His three winning performances in 2001 made him the winningest USAC National Midget Rookie in more than a quarter century. Ultimately, he was rewarded as the series’ Rookie of the Year."
