This has got to be the craziest Flips ive ever seen in my entire life while behind the wheel. No joke. If you pay attention a few of us go directly under him(including me) and he lands and mark perry and Brett Hit again.

I got permission to show this from the family but i made sure first. Maybe we can learn something from it idk! lol.

Did something break on the car to cause it to flip like that? Looks like he just got sideways and then launched...

I think he caught the rear wheel with another car and it lifted the rear up causing the nose to dig in.

But you get the wings back on the cars then you start sacrificing good racing, non-wing is where the good racing is at in my opinion.

Hope to see Burdette back on the track here soon.

A wing isn't going to keep the car from lawn-darting like that, and it will only make the speed/force that much harder at that angle.

It appears like he got over the other guys LR and the Sway Bar dug in.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if you have a wing on or not; you can get hurt. There is a long list of wing guys who have been hurt over the past few years as well.

I'm amazed that the Perry kid in the yellow car was the only other car unable to continue and I think with more experience even he would have missed Brett.

I agree with Leaders Edge. With this kind of accident I don't think the wing would have helped much, if at all.
