Troy,, are you sure you're not possibly thinking about Bob Glidden's famous crash of his Thunderbird racing against Butch Leal, where he rolled the T-Bird multiple times after hitting the left lane wall? The extended TV footage shows Bob's jacket covering his intake before the cameras got too close, as he still was wearing it when the Safety Safari helped him get up as he climbed out of the car. I believe this was at Atlanta around '85 or '86. Its probably on Youtube. I don't recall WJ doing this, although I've been wrong before.
