First of all, I don't like seeing explosions like this and I'm so glad Matt is okay. However, a few years ago, Ron Capps had an explosion worse than this and didn't get this kind of media coverage. Not the way the NHRA should get coverage anyway. I agree, Matt's NHRA championship as well as his 3.99 should be more news worthy.

Yes Lee Ron's at Ennis in what '03-'04? What pretty Bad! But I guess with Youtube now on every electronic device guess it is a different era now!
