BTW, Hoffmans have sequence photos of that crash that are remarkable. Some of those who attended the Fish Fry may have seen them. Fish is correct, he went end over end down the front stretch, barely cleared the walkway that then crossed over the track going into turn1 and ended up at the bottom of the trck between 1 & 2.
I sure hope Rob/Richard jump on for more detail, especially given the relatively happy ending!
