Pretty sure I couldn't do that in a street car, let alone a 300" dragster...

We've added another angle of the crash

Is it fair to call that a "crash"?

 

[Bobby Bennett]

An Epic Fail of a crash

Wow. When did that happen?
*Edit: nevermind, I dug for my own info.

Glad Larry was ok as well as the driver in the other lane.

It happened today in Australia which is tomorrow already there.

Should happen in about an hour. At which point, you can click on the video link and watch it live!

I don't know if you can call that a "save".....I think he was just pretty damn lucky IMO!

I am more curious as to why the wheel came off in the first place. You just don't see that often...Someone forget to torque the lug nuts....

Good thing the other guy banged the motor when he did.
