Here is a great article about Ted and the Chicken Hawk

Also apparently Ted has stated that the car was pulling hard at the time the accident happened. Some speculation is that one of the turbocharger oil feed lines may have come loose and that is what put oil on the track. The engine may have over-revved when the tires hit the oil causing the engine to grenade. If that is the case, he had a rev limiter on it but it evidently did not do it's job. Last report is he may be coming home on Thursday if his collapsed lung is staying sufficiently inflated. He is already talking about taking his R2 powered Studebaker Daytona to the Pure Stock Muscle Car drags in Martin MI in about 6 weeks. Hard to keep a good man down!
