The car that wrecked is pitted right across the road from us. Jeff was helping unload it off the wrecker and winched into his trailer. He seems fine except the car.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
BROWNSBURG, Ind. - 12:41 p.m. Racing is on hold at Lucas Oil Raceway Park, but not for the usual reason.
Colvert's '69 Mustang was clocked at 9.399 seconds and 141.62 mph at the finish line, but the car did not slow down as usual and went off the end of the track at a high enough speed that it went through the sand and into the multiple-net system. The momentum was so high that the car flipped upside down.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
With the race version of manual transmissions, can you even downshift for engine braking to help slow you down?
