Here's a little story about the aftermath of the crash,
When Jack came to our pit after the crash to apologize he says to me and my father " I can't believe you guys aren't kicking my ass right now" to which I replied that I'd seen him fight before and didn't want to go that route. He says back "i'm knocked pretty silly right now you probably could get the best of me" And I told him that an injured animal is always at their most dangerous, to which we all laughed.
The year that happened was 1991,Jack drove a second car for us many times after that incident and became a good friend of mine and my fathers.
I was amazed by them two or three tours CRA pulled off. Almost three weeks of nearly daily racing from Colorado almost to PA and by how many car they brought. What also amazed me was the lack of local support. Almost like, We can't run against them guys. Of course IN was running a ton of winged at the time. That burnt out quick. One of the races I attended was Whitewater *Liberty IN* and Kerr won it but kinda put Leland in the wall also. They weren't happy.
