I hope he reconsiders and comes back and tames the track next year!!!
The crew needs to be schooled, you don't send it if there is liquid coming from anywhere, it's just begging to be crashed.....

Sucks to see.

I'm not sure what the track crew was cleaning before the pass, but apparently nothing was dripping/wet from the truck when it left the line or they would not have sent him.

In my pics I saw that there was nothing visible until right before it turned, that is when a fog appeared under the truck, when it lifted the head and he spun in that water. The truck was running straight and true until the fog of water appeared under the truck from the head.

The Rudy's team is a smart bunch of guys, they would not risk Rawlings or the truck by sending him down the track if he was leaking at the line!!!

The crew did absolutely nothing wrong. Condensation has absolutely nothing to do with the head gasket that failed. I’d advise people to know the whole situation and what the crew member was actually doing before blaming a crash on someone who’s one of the safest in the industry.

Im not sure I understand that. That is the nicest facility (besides shutdown) in the ODSS circuit



Accidents happen at events......... That facility has had quite a few in recent years.

No that was me. I apologize if some got offended. I'm only basing my opinion on what was viewed on videos posted.

Sucks to see carnage and easy to armchair quarterback things.
