Is a very, very lucky young man to walk away from his wreck at 34 Raceway tonight. I've seen some pretty brutal wrecks but I've never seen a chassis shear apart like his did. I don't know who does his chassis for KKR but I'd hope they seriously look into this.

It wouldn't have mattered what chassis he had, considering the angle he hit the wall that sticks out at that point of the track. That (the wall) needs to have something done to it.
Thankfully, he walked away.

Just an awful crash, so glad he was able to walk away, albeit limping.

years back it happened at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction. Bad design of track coming out of turn 2. Entrance wall stuck out further than the turn 2 wall. When car hit, the motor and front end tumbled down the back stretch.
