Default Wheel bearing?? or what is wrong??

On the race track today and my car started to make a "thump, thump, thump' noise that would only be heard from inside the car on right hand turns. It was coming from the passenger side rear wheel area. Wheel bearing problem??

Thanks,

Could also be a loose sway bar link.

Check:

Also, check you tires if they are getting worn.

Is the noise dependent on the RPM, speed or vibrations?

Noise is dependent on speed, not RPM. Only passenger rear on right turns and I did have a little off track excursion during that race that maybe loosen up something??

I'll check sway bar link.

Thanks

check your alignment to see if something got knocked. check the insides of the tires for indications of rubbing under load.

If your running hollow spoke wheels check to see if its bent. Dropping a wheel on the track or a pot hole can bend the stock wheels easily.
