It's a dangerous sport but everything in life has those moments. When I saw the accident I knew it couldn't be good. My prayers are with his family.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

Bummer. It's part of racing, but you never do want to see it happen and you never get used to it.

Exactley, and that happens in any form of open wheel racing,same exact type of crash that took Rich Vogler in a midget.Any part of a drivers body makes contact with a chain link fence and its gonna tear something off. Wouldn't have mattered if he was going 225 mph or 125 mph ,you jump a wheel and your going airborne. Originally Posted by 1gary
