Holy crap! I had heard about the wreck but that was the first of the video I have seen of it. Wow glad to see the safety systems all worked properly and he walked away.

Was there this past weekend and saw the aftermath, total write off. The mini looked really bad as well with damage to the left side, hood, windshield,etc. Thank God people walked away from this one.

Stinks too that they are running 2 weeks in a row with no break. That definitly puts them down a car and it'll be a ton of work to rebuild for RA.

Saw that happen from the hill......never thought that wreck would end. At one point I thought he was going over the wall. Scary stuff.

Ouch! Good to see everyone is ok, and I hate it for Glenn and those guy's!

Also, having to watch your team car roll like that, has to be very distracting.

Tom finished p3 in the 25, and Andrew p4 in the 26 at the Glenn yesterday. Great rebound effort.

This was a horrific accident. From the following car's video we can see that the Mini blocked by moving to the right. The Freedom Motorsports car had the momentum and went for the clear track on the left of the Mini. The Mini then moved over again taking away the Mazda's racing room and the Mayhem ensued.

When are we all going to stop blocking.

The darn Mazda was coming up on him and had the momentum.

Let the damn thing go past and then drive your car to get back by.

I watched that video several times to see if the checker was out. If that would be an excuse. Did not see a checker.

This poor practice is too common place at our level let alone being done at a "professional" level.

The accident video was impressive enough to be broadcast nationally. They
showed it during a race on the Speed channel on Sunday afternoon. I think they mispronounced Andrews last name though. Lots of "oohs" and "aahs" from
the announcers but no discussion of fault.
