Here is a story and photo from the infield:
Stuntman Henry “The Pit Bull” Rife, who performed after the racing, escaped serious injury when he crashed after easily clearing 10 cars in an attempt to make a world indoor record jump on an all-terrain vehicle. The record remains seven cars because Rife did not land successfully.
Rife, 42, who has appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman,” shrugged off medical attention despite bouncing off the concrete floor. His ATV careened into a concrete barrier as he skidded to a halt just a few feet short of the wall.
He apologized to the crowd and vowed to break the record here next year.
“If his leg was broken,” close friend Russ Belt said, “right now, he wouldn’t tell you. I think it just knocked the wind out of him.”
