Oh wow that had some energy behind it. It's these types of
crashes where a HANS may do more harm than good. Best wishes to Jack on a quick and complete recovery. Whoever even had that music available needs a reality check. Or a punch in the face. Not sure how you handle things in the Midwest.

Dean, I have to admit I clicked in to see who decided it was ok to put Jack's wreck up here. Thank you for catering to the family's concerns.

The video shows just how quick he went over and the catch fence did it's job. I know it's not usually good to get arrested into the fence, but that's what happened. I'm not a person that can look at it and say what injuries occurred when, and I wouldn't want to be. I'm just glad he is still with us.

As for the 'Wipeout' jab, that guy could save it for street stock bumper bash or junior high dances. Really poor choice and I trust that next time he won't be as quick to make light of such a thing.

I have listened to this with my headphones on and wipeout is playing in the background prior to the accident. I have gone back several times, and the music starts playing as they exit turn 2. I don't have a problem with the sentiments expressed, but it may not be the announcer who deserves the blame. Sounds more like background music, maybe added by whoever put the video up, or they were playing it during the race for some reason? Just my $0.02.

I should also add that I wish Jack Dover a speedy recovery, and our prayers are with you and the family. It has been a tough year for the sprint car community.

Good enough for me. I'm more than happy to pass it off as coincidence.
