Wasn't that in BLACK? And was the driver a Dorki (if so, I assume they'll post, but if not, who)?

I was there, about 4-5 cars behind the incident. Coming around T4, all I saw was a wall of dust that I could not see thru. I went left and I was also avoiding rolling tires in my path.

Race Day Photo has a stop action collection of the entire incident, showing the car in the air. Can anyone post it?

Seeing the results of that wreck makes me think that trying to shave the last tenth can cost you big time. I'm content just having some fun.

Thanks....definitely had to do some quick thinking......

I was just happy it wasn't an entire car that came back at me from the dust cloud.
