I was driving a mini-stock that night (we had NO money, still don't). Was so excited to get home and check the VCR as I tried taping the race. Something screwed up on the taping, and all I saw was the aftermath. Flashing lights, safety crews milling around, the helmet.
Next Saturday, I nearly choked myself to death cinching up my helmet and belts. It was hard, even a week later, to get into that "race car". He was a tremendous talent, in and out of the cockpit.
