I know. I've been watching races just about as long as you have and that was one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen at a race track. Hell, anywhere for that matter. And like a lot of people, the severity of the cockpit fire and the speed at which it all unfolded, brought me to tears. Because it looked so much like we were going to see an even worse result. And it was all happening to one of the track's most beloved drivers. Thank God Stan Beadles made it through that. His wife, modified driver Samantha Beadles, has been updating his condition and progress on her Facebook page. It's a good place to go if you want to see how he's doing.
