That was a big explosion IMO and he hit the wall pretty square. The safety features in that car were impressive as was the Safety Safari's response time and actions. :thumbsup:

I saw that and was a little nervous for sure!! Gonna be a sore dude tomorrow!!

I'll have to ask my buddy why the went thru TWO engines in eliminations! Oh, and a car!! He had worked on the team for several years now, car chief (NOT crew chief) or something like that. Antron is a really great guy, the real deal!:thumbsup:

Wow what a hit and glad he is OK. The cars now are amazing with how well they protect the driver.

Could've been REALLY bad had he hit about 2' closer to the start line and hit that "door" square!

Yessir.


This was one of the scarier hits I've watched live, when he went airborne and hit that wall I thought he was gone.

Wow, don't remember that one man! How bad was he hurt??

That video REALLY shows how important a HANS device is needed!! His head flopping around in there!

I was watching it also and that was a bad crash. This Pro Stock crash with Bruce Allen is about as bad as I've ever seen.

The Pro 5.0 crash that took Steve Grebeck's life was very similar to the Bruce Allen wreck.. Sadly, I was at the track that day.
