Whoa. Glad he's ok. Great driving to get the car sideways at the last minute.

Definitely, and good thing car didnt turn over when going sideways, that wouldve been worse

I am confused as to what happened exactly that threw him off course??

Thank goodness for the slow down off shoot area and the well designed crash
impact barriers.. Hope that driver is fine.....

Brake failure is what I read in an article I saw on this elsewhere.

Yep, he posted it on FB too. Said that he's really sore, but ok.

That really was some amazing driving

This has me thinking my car needs more safety gear in it!

This freaked me out so bad I couldn't spell crash!

Holy shît!

Masterbeatty · 09-21-2014, 10:27 AM

Holy ****. I hope he is ok. That's good the car didn't flip and start rolling. The wall bumpers absorbed a lot of the high speed impact.

JWillis72 · 09-21-2014, 10:30 AM

He walked away with only a headache! He tried to get it to go in backwards but couldn't get the car to rotate. He went off the track at 154 and said he scrubbed off 20 mph by sticking it in 3rd.

This was one bad crash to see it in person. I was just glad he was able to walk away from this.

Glad to hear he walked away from it ok.

Once I get pictures down loaded, I will post a couple of pictures of the crash. I didn't have the right lens on at the time, but like some have already posted it was a scary crash and to see it happen, like we have all said, glad he is OK.
