Unfortunately there was a loss of life that night b/c of that.
I normally would’ve been...cancelled for high wind? But after seeing what transpired at Devils Bowl that night. I applaud Tony Stewart and All Stars for cancelling and taking people’s health and safety as a priority. Devils Bowl speedway no longer pits cars outside turns 3 & 4 like they once did.
