thats horrible, the huge fire after it hits the sand trap is the worst.

R.I.P. Looks to me like debris from the explosion got caught in the chute. If that hadn't happened, he might still be with us.

yeah thats pretty crazy for a track to put a barrier like that at the end of a place where cars go 250+ and have to stop. Shit, things always go wrong with race cars such as brakes failing, chutes failing etc.
RIP

They were talking about this on 93X this morining. They said this track was known to be a short one for them.

That wall at the end is messed up. If that would have been flat or a soft barrier of some sort, he would probably still be alive. What a fast way to go though..

Well, at least he went real quickly.

A couple of guys I work with said they saw pics of the chassis after the wreck, and basically, everything folded in around him. He had no chance to make it out alive. RIP.
