He's lucky he survived that. Props to the dedication of the safety crew, especially the guy who refused to give up on getting Mike out.

Pretty sure he was the father of Justin Swanson who races in the series

I'd say that these organizations like NPK, Street Outlaws and all the others get Safety Crews and equipment matching the Safety Safari. Every one of the
mishaps I've watched looks like the Keystone Cops trying to get to the scene and then getting the driver out or putting out a fire. It's only going to be a matter
of time someone's life will be lost due to inadequate safety measures.

That is normal in door cars that have sfi approved bellhousings, transmission cases except for NHRA ProMod. Jeff Lutz's NPK car is the only one I've noticed that has a trans tunnel in NPK.
