Many thanks to Jim and Joe Schaechter. They are putting their spare trans in our truck now. Hopefully we can make the next run,.

Most of the DQs are fuel or weight.

BROWNSBURG, Ind. - 12:41 p.m. Racing is on hold at Lucas Oil Raceway Park, but not for the usual reason.

The predicted rain has not materialized today, but the safety nets at the end of the sand trap were demolished when Jeff Colvert, from Arkadelphia, Arkansas, gave it a severe test during the first Super Stock qualifying session.

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.

The safety systems did their job, Colvert walked away. However, the Safety Safari has been working hard for the last hour rebuilding the net system and are estimating it will take about an hour more to get back to a safe racing condition.

About half of the 180 Super Stock entries made runs before the accident happened.
