    These red flag inducing tumble rides are getting more prevalent in the dirt late models.

        Pretty sure he just got pinched into the wall and rolled, don't think it was part failure that caused the crash

          Who was that under him? Bronson? The entire left rear did come out pretty quick.

              Looks like he got "squirrelly" going down the backstretch and was heading towards Bloomquist on the bottom and overcorrected too much and got in the wall

                    Did the Halon system go off or did the safety crew spray retardant on it?

                      pretty sure they (track) sprayed as it was leaking fuel, but don't think they showed it

                        I noticed the wall was really short when i went down a couple years ago. It seems like the cars get up on the wall there a lot easier then they do at most places. That's kinda scary considering the speeds they carry there, and how there just as many people standing along the fence watching as there is in the stands.

                          Your right because if you watch the replay where Owens spun Tmac spins to avoid him and the rear quarters on tmacs car scrape the top of the wall.

                            When it first happened there was a guy on a Kawasaki mule or something similar and he jumped off and unreeled a hose so I'm assuming that was the track's doing, because there was nothing on the track for the first little while after he came to rest.
